Paulo Coelho

"Living is an act of courage, and excessive caution slowly destroys the soul and the heart."

"I write with my blood, my heart, and my soul, and even when exhausted, I begin again because the story calls me forward."

"Books are not there to show how intelligent you are, but to show your heart and tell readers they are not alone."

"Loneliness does not erase the love you have already given."

"Heartbreak can make you feel lost, but getting lost often leads to self discovery."

"It is painful to let go of someone you imagined a future with, but your future is still waiting for you."

"The discomfort of fear is temporary, regret lasts much longer."

"Failure can make you question your path, and sometimes that question leads you to a better one."
