“A 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.”
― Paulo Coelho, Like the Flowing River

“Damen, seriously, you must know I don't love you because you're immortal, I love you because you're you.”
― Alyson Noel, Everlasting

“Everything will happen as was written by the Lord," replied the prophet. "There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason."

"What reason?"

"That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Fifth Mountain

“Being human means having doubts and yet still continuing on your path.”
― Paulo Coelho, Brida
