Paulo Coelho's the man

I've posted some blogs about Paulo Coelho or his works. He is my all time favorite author. To this date, I have read 11 of his books. There are a lot more that I haven't yet to read but this is a thrilling news.

He's an unique author. He is a spiritual fiction writer. There is always metaphysics in his novels. Often it is with intention, according to my opinion, to guide us in the depth of our thoughts, our world, and even our emotions. Like one of his book, By River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, is a story of two lovers reunited after 11 years but the lady had buried her feelings and the guy had gone on a religion refuge. This only meant a journey of difficulties with special relationship on one side and decade of resentments & blame on the other side. Difficulties in Coelho's novels are not the products of daily life but of what we bury deep inside. They are there for us to reexamine.

"We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity." -The Alchemist

“An awareness of death encourages us to live more intensely.” -Veronika Decides to Die

"When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself." -Eleven Minutes

"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times." -The Alchemist

"In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire."

- By River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

"When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds." -Eleven Minutes
