• We have this language of the omens, the language of the signs. It is an alphabet that is directed to us. If we do not fear to commit mistakes, if we take the omens as a warning, as a help to cross that particular day, then we start to get deeper and deeper into the soul of the world. Well, to find, not the meaning of life because I believe in mysteries, I believe that there is a mystery that goes far beyond our understanding. But at least to know that there is something for us to do here and we have to do.
  Paulo Coelho Quotes
• First of all, when a writer finishes a novel, he doesn’t know whether he explained his soul or not. But in the case of Eleven Minutes, talking about such a sensitive subject as sexuality, I was not sure that I made my case, that I could explain myself. I do not write to please, I write to express myself.
  Paulo Coelho Quotes

  Vincent van Gogh Quotes
• The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
  Pablo Picasso Quotes
