Happy birthday to Paulo Coelho

 

Dena Bain Taylor

Happy birthday to Paulo Coelho (1947) -- Brazilian novelist known for employing rich symbolism in his depictions of the often spiritually motivated journeys taken by his characters.

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."

"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
