To those who don’t know who Paulo Coelho is, he is a famous Brazilian lyricist and novelist. He is one of the most widely read authors in the world. His book The Alchemist has gone to sell more than 65 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best selling books in history. So I’ve decided to make a list with the best Paulo Coelho Quotes. Enjoy!
I encourage you to save this as a resource to come back to when you’re in need for a boost (and I know that we all need a boost every now and then!). I initially created this list as a resource for myself and I have bookmarked this page to return to it on a regular basis. I certainly hope that you will also see this as a resource rather than just a quick article to read. So please, save this resource for when you need it in the future and pass it on to those that you think will benefit from it.
