Paulo Coelho Quotes

A writer always wears glasses and never combs his hair. Half the time he feels angry about everything and the other half depressed. He spends most of his life in bars, arguing with other dishevelled, bespectacled writers. He says very 'deep' things. He always has amazing ideas for the plot of his next novel, and hates the one he has just published.

Paulo Coelho

Then off twists a white wraith. The woods throb blue and green, and gradually the fields drink in red, gold, brown.... Virginia Woolf
