  • It took me 40 years to write my first book.

  • Books are not about messages. I write to understand my soul

  • I am a person that is very curious about what is going on in the world and there are a lot of subjects to write about, you meet a lot of interesting people. But one idea will be there and it will show up without any logic. It is a book that has been written in my heart before it is written into sentences.

  • I like to be challenged with language, so I start to do texts for my blogs that people can download, can spread. There is no commercial interest behind it. It's only for fun, like doing something that you really enjoy to do. I have texts that I write specifically for the internet and I put them there. I am interested in how readers also respond to the texts that I write to them.

  • People are reading more and writing more because of the internet. So the virtual world is a way for me to listen to my readers and interact with my readers. It is a way that they can voice their opinion.

  • I want to be a writer, not an engineer who writes books.

    Paulo Coelho (2011). “Like the Flowing River: Thoughts and Reflections”, p.11, HarperCollins UK
  • For a writer you have to be interested in different cultures, different backgrounds. You are not there to write only about your village. You're there to show a bit of your village, but also to understand other villages.

  • Creativity is basically a feminine process. I'm convinced that we have in our soul, everybody, this masculine side and this feminine side. So at the end of the day, you always use this feminine creative energy to write or to do any type of art or creativity. So if I see that my protagonist is feminine, it's not more difficult, no. And even when my protagonist is masculine, I'm writing from using this feminine energy.

  • Writing means sharing. It's part of the human condition to want to share things - thoughts, ideas, opinions.

    "Paulo Coelho: 'I had an enormous amount of fun being a hippy" by Shahesta Shaitly, www.theguardian.com. January 25, 2014.
  • Where are they written?" "In the world around us. Merely be attentive to what happens in your life, and you will discover where, every moment of the day, He hides His words and His will. Seek to do as He asks: this alone is the reason you are in the world." "If I discover it, I'll write it on clay tablets." "Do so. But write them, above all, in your heart; there they can neither burned nor destroyed, and you will take them wherever you go.

  • Dreams are letters from the book your life is writing.

  • I write because I need to share my thoughts with the audience.

  • When you write an article about anything, trolls use the comments to attack. They feel frustrated - but haters are losers. It's not good to feed this aspect. It's more intelligent to be constructive.

  • I need to write about love. I need to think and think and write about love-otherwise, my soul won’t survive.

  • I'd have stopped writing years ago if it were for the money.

  • I am very present in my work and my work is somehow an expression of my soul, but at the same time I think that a writer cannot write out of nothing.

  • Tears are words that need to be written.

  • I don't know if the books are making the world a much better place. I don't write with that objective. What I know is that I see my readers creating a critical mass so we can at least understand this world in a different way.

  • I only can write a book every two years, you know. And I write very fast, but I'm not always writing every day. I needed a contact with different things, like nature, for example. I cannot be in front of a computer trying to tell a story.

  • Writing is one of the most solitary activities in the world.

  • That is why I write - to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.

  • When I was 40, I wrote my first book, The Pilgrimage, and I said to myself, "why did it take so long for me to write this book?" Because my dream, since I was 10 years old, was to be a writer. I said, I have to revisit my life using a metaphor, and the metaphor was basically this boy that has a dream and has to go far away to realize that his dream is close to him.

  • 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.

  • No 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.

    "Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2011.
  • 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.

  • I only write to understand myself better... I don't try to show how intelligent or how cultivated I am, I just try to share my soul. Sharing is part of life.

  • Instead of noting down things I’m unlikely to forget, I will write a poem. Even if I have never written one before and even if I never do so again, I will at least know that I once had the courage to put my feelings into words.

  • I write from my soul. This is the reason that critics don't hurt me, because it is me.

  • As a writer I have to find platforms that can use this writing process. The internet is one of them.
