It's only those who are persistent and willing to study things deeply, who achieve the master work.
Paulo CoelhoSometimes we have only ten minutes to be with the love of our life and thousands of hours to spend thinking about them.
Paulo CoelhoEvery human being should keep alive within them the sacred flame of madness, but should behave as a normal person.
Paulo CoelhoA best friend is someone with whom you can sit on the porch, without a word, and then walk away with the feeling that it was the best conversation that ever had in your life. I would like to see next to me was the man in whose presence my heart beat would be evenly and uniformly, the man next to whom I would be calm, because I was not afraid to be the next day to lose him. And the time would have flowed more slowly, and we could just keep quiet, knowing that to talk with us there is still a whole life. Only one thing makes a dream impossible - it is the fear of failure.
Paulo CoelhoThe wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.
Paulo CoelhoNo one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.
