Today’s Question by Aart Hilal

by Paulo Coelho on July 29, 2008

Your novels aren’t tragedies, they principle end somehow happily, with self-understanding, recognition of main characters. Do you want to deliver some kind of positive thoughts?

I wouldn’t say “positive thoughts” but rather hope: against all the sarcasm, all the detachment our current society dwells on.

And thankyou most sincerely for that. I have read many books but have never been so moved by the message as with the Alchemist. I go back to it every now and then. Keep it close to my heart.

Paulo,
Your books fill our hearts with joy, hope and new horizon promissing Eden to be discovered in our own hearts.
Love

Hope…
I always will be grateful for the hope your books gave me and especially for: “my heart is afraid of suffering; please tell him that no heart ever suffered..”
there’s something peculiar about it; it has a hidden meaning; higher meaning I would say, the truth that comes only from understanding, love, and faith.
thank you,
love
Agnieszka
