This is the first teaching of the Knights: You will erase everything you had written in the book of your life up until now: restlessness, uncertainty, lies. And in the place of all this you will write the word courage.

Sometimes, we are so attached to our way of life that we turn down wonderful opportunities simply because don't know what to do with it.

I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.

Don't think about what you've left behind... everything is written in the Soul of the World, and there it will stay forever.

Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.

We lose many things simply out of our fear of losing them.

There is no tragedy, only the unavoidable. Everything has its reason for being: you only need to distinguish what is temporary from what is lasting.
