Posted by: julynell on: January 28, 2008

As promised: a post on Paulo Coelho and what his books meant to me personally.The first book I read, or rather listened to as it was an audio version, was The Alchemist. I guess that’s the book he is most known for. The thing that striked me the most about the whole story, is that [...]

Warrior of Light

When a warrior is the victim of injustice, he usually tries to be alone, in order not to show his pain to others.

This is both good and bad.

It is one thing to allow one's heart to heal it's wounds slowly, but it is quite another to sit all day in deep contemplation for fear of seeming weak.

Inside each of us there lives an angel and a devil, and their voices are very alike. Confronted by a problem, the devil encourages that solitary conversation, trying to show us how vulnerable we are. The angel makes us reflect upon our attitudes and occasionally needs someone else's mouth to reveal itself.

A warrior balances solitude and dependence.

from Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho
