I don't want to change anything, because I don't know how to deal with change.

I don't want to change anything, because I don't know how to deal with change.

Want, Deals, Know How

Paulo Coelho (1998). “The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition”, HarperSanFrancisco

Love is the force that brings us back together, in order to condense the experience dispersed in many lives and many parts of the world.

Love Is, Order, Together

..there is nothing worse than the feeling that no one cares whether we exist or not, that no one is interested in what we have to say about life, and that the world can continue turning without our awkward presence. I began to imagine how many millions of people were, at that moment, feeling utterly useless and wretched—however rich, charming, and delightful they might be—because they were alone that night, as they were yesterday, and as they might well be tomorrow.

Night, Yesterday, People

A warrior of light knows that in the silence of his heart he will hear an order that will guide him.

Life, Inspiration, Heart

Life, Inspiration, Reality

Blaming the government for all the bad things that happen.

Life, Government, Blame

Thinking that being a good, decent, respectable person will mean that others will see you as weak, vulnerable, and easy to manipulate.

Life, Mean, Thinking

Being equally convinced that aggression and rudeness are synonymous with having a "powerful personality."

Life, Powerful, Personality

For the warrior of light there are no ends, only means. Life carries him from unknown to unknown. Each moment is filled with this thrilling mystery: the warrior does not know where he came from or where he is going.

Life, Inspiration, Mean

Know how to get close to it: mountains are often seen from far off - beautiful, interesting, full of challenges. But what happens when we try to draw closer? Roads run all around them, flowers grow between you and your objective, what seemed so clear on the map is tough in real life. So try all the paths and all the tracks until eventually one day you're standing in front of the top that you yearn to reach.

Life, Beautiful, Running

The Warrior of the Light knows that everyone is afraid of everyone else.

Life, Inspiration, Warrior

The world has never been as divided as it is now, what with religious wars, genocides, a lack of respect for the planet, economic crisis, depression, poverty, with everyone wanting instant solutions to at least some of the world's problems or their own. And things only look bleaker as we head into future.

Religious, War, Looks

Paulo Coelho (2011). “Aleph”, p.1, HarperCollins UK

I don't know if the books are making the world a much better place. I don't write with that objective. What I know is that I see my readers creating a critical mass so we can at least understand this world in a different way.

Book, Writing, Creating

I am very present in my work and my work is somehow an expression of my soul, but at the same time I think that a writer cannot write out of nothing.

Writing, Thinking, Expression

We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.

Love Is, Giving, Suffering

Paulo Coelho (2009). “By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept: A Novel of Forgiveness”, p.6, Harper Collins

Outside, beyond what is right and wrong, there exists a vast field. We will find each other there

Fields

Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.

Love, Passion, Thinking

Life, Inspiration, Fighting

I only can write a book every two years, you know. And I write very fast, but I'm not always writing every day. I needed a contact with different things, like nature, for example. I cannot be in front of a computer trying to tell a story.

Book, Writing, Years

I am a person that is very curious about what is going on in the world and there are a lot of subjects to write about, you meet a lot of interesting people. But one idea will be there and it will show up without any logic. It is a book that has been written in my heart before it is written into sentences.

Book, Writing, Heart

Love Is, Two, Different
