Paulo Coelho A warrior of the light never forgets that good men do not complain. Injustices take place. We all go through situations we do not deserve - generally when we cannot defend ourselves.

Paulo Coelho The Latin root of the word “responsibility” reveals its meaning: the capability to respond, to react. A responsible warrior is capable of observing and training. And he is even capable of being “irresponsible”: at times he allows himself to be lead by the situation, and does not respond, does not react. But he has learned the [...]

Paulo Coelho Every time a sword is taken from its sheath, it must be used. It may serve to open up a path, help someone, or brush aside danger - but a sword is capricious and does not like having its blade exposed for no reason. This is why a warrior never makes threats. He may attack, [...]

Paulo Coelho The warrior of the light knows the silence which precedes an important battle. And this silence seems to say: "things have stopped. Better forget the fight, and enjoy oneself a little." Inexperienced combatants put down their weapons at that moment, and complain about the boredom. The warrior is attentive to the silence; someplace, something is happening. He [...]

Paulo Coelho The warrior remembers the past. He knows man’s Spiritual Way, knows that on it were written some of the finest pages in history. And some of its worst chapters: massacres, sacrifices, obscurantism. It has been used for personal gain, and its ideals have been bartered with the most terrible intentions. The warrior has heard comments like: [...]

By Paulo Coelho Ernest Hemingway, the author of the classic The Old Man and the Sea, went from moments of harsh physical activity to periods of total inactivity. Before sitting to write pages of a new novel, he’d spend hours peeling oranges and gazing into the fire. One morning, a reporter noticed this strange habit. "Don’t you think [...]

Paulo Coelho certainly has nothing against selling books. He has sold an astounding 100m copies of his novels. But he also believes in giving them away. He is a pirate.

"This happened in English, in Norwegian, in Japanese and
