Quote by Paolo Coelho

“It’s odd,” the Warrior of the Light says to himself. “I have met so many people who, at the first opportunity, try to show their very worst qualities. They hide their inner strength behind aggression and hide their fear of loneliness behind an air of independence. They do not believe in their own abilities, but are constantly trumpeting their virtues.” A warrior reads these messages in many of the men and women he meets. He is never taken in by appearances and makes a point of remaining silent when people try to impress him. He uses these occasions to correct his own faults, for other people make an excellent mirror. A Warrior takes every opportunity to teach himself.”

“Why is silence so beautiful? Tell me why. For the light that rises from the soundless world, fills you with an ocean of light, turning you into a seeker, and a visionary. Why is silence so ecstatic? Tell me why. For in the silence is the moon, whispering to the night; in the wordless world are the stars, lighting the sky, calling you to be a lover, and a dreamer in this soundless a dark. Why is silence so maddening? Tell me why. For silence softly bites your lips, and turns you into a lover in spell, with lips trembling at the beauty of an unknown world, the one simply fathomless.”
