In the long run what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them than their own destinies.
Paulo CoelhoThe roller-coaster is my life; life is a fast, dizzying game; life is a parachute jump; itโs taking chances, falling over and getting up again; itโs mountaineering; itโs wanting to get to the very top of yourself and feeling angry and dissatisfied when you donโt manage it
Paulo CoelhoA writer always wears glasses and never combs his hair. Half the time he feels angry about everything and the other half depressed. He spends most of his life in bars, arguing with other dishevelled, bespectacled writers. He says very 'deep' things. He always has amazing ideas for the plot of his next novel, and hates the one he has just published.
