Paulo Coelho's words on Solitude and Dependence

:::Quotes Unlimited:::

from Paulo Coelho's Warrior of The Light

When a Warrior is the victim of some injustice, he usually tries to be alone, in order no to show his pain to others.

This is both good and bad.

It is one thing to allow one's heart to heal its 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 the solitary conversation, trying to show us how vulnerable we are. The angel makes us reflect upon our attitudes and occasionally needs some one else’s heart to reveal itself.

A Warrior balances solitude and dependence.
