"By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept". Book by Paulo Coelho, 1994.

Playing the part of a charitable soul was only for those who were afraid of taking a stand in life. It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others and fight for your rights. It is always easier to hear an insult and not retaliate than have the courage to fight back against someone stronger than yourself; we can always say we're not hurt by the stones others throw at us, and it's only at night - when we're alone and our wife or our husband or our school friend is asleep - that we can silently grieve over our own cowardice.

Sometimes the warrior feels as if he were living two lives at once. 'There is a bridge that links what I do with what I would like to do,' he thinks.

We learn what we need, Not what we'd want to

I understand that suffering, when it cannot be avoided, is here to help me on my way to my dreams

Dream, Suffering, Way

Too often, we decide to follow a path that is not really our own, one that others have set for us. We forget that...in both cases we will pass through both difficult and happy moments. But when we are living our dream, the difficulties we encounter make sense.

She wasn't a victim of fate, she was running her own risks, pushing beyond her own limits, experiencing things which, one day, in the silence of her heart, in the tedium of old age, she would remember almost with nostalgia - however absurd that might seem.

Running, Heart, Fate

When two people fall in love, past and future disappear.

Falling In Love, Positive Thinking, Past

The only way to make the right decision is to find out which is the wrong decision, to examine that other path without fear, and only then decide.

Life, Inspiration, Decision

Pity those who seek for shepherds, instead of longing for freedom!

Freedom, Independence, Shepherds

People say strange things, the boy thought. Sometimes it's better to be with the sheep, who don't say anything. And better still to be alone with one's books. They tell their incredible stories at the time when you want to hear them. But when you're talking to people, they say some things that are so strange that you don't know how to continue the conversation.

Paulo Coelho (2009). “The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition”, p.20, Harper Collins

Interview, thehimalayantimes.com. April 26, 2009.

Tragedy depends on the way you see it. If you chose to be a victim of the world, anything which happens to you will feed that dark side of your soul, where you consider yourself wronged, suffering, guilty and deserving punishment. If you choose to be an adventurer, the changes - even the inevitable losses, since everything in this world changes - can cause some pain, but will soon thrust you forward, forcing you to react.

Pain, Loss, Dark
