'I spoke to three scholars,' [the character says 'at last.'] ...two of them said that, after death, the [sic (misprint, fault of the publisher)] just go to Paradise. The third one, though, told me to consult some verses from the Koran. [end quote]' ...I can see that he's excited. [narrator]' ...Now I have many positive things to say about Coelho: He is respectable, inspiring as a man, a truth-seeker, and an appealing writer; but one should hesitate to call him a 'literary' writer based on this quote. A 'literary' author knows that a character's excitement should be 'shown' in his or her dialogue and not in the narrator's commentary on it. Advice for Coelho: Remove the 'I can see that he's excited' sentence and show his excitement in the phrasing of his quote.(Now, in defense of Coelho, I am firmly of the opinion, having myself written plenty of prose that is flawed, that a novelist should be forgiven for slipping here and there.)Lastly, it appears that a belief in reincarnation is of great interest to Mr. Coelho ... Just think! He is a man who has achieved, (as Leonard Cohen would call it), 'a remote human possibility.' He has won lots of fame and tons of money. And yet, how his preoccupation with reincarnation—none other than an interest in being born again as somebody else—suggests that he is not happy!”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Roman Payne" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/roman-payne/i-ran-across-an-excerpt-today-in-english-translation-of-some-dialogue/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9ee/roman-payne-1959_advice-for-writers_i-ran-across-an-excerpt-today-in-english_2690369.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9ee/roman-payne-1959_advice-for-writers_i-ran-across-an-excerpt-today-in-english_2690369.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9ee/roman-payne-1959_advice-for-writers_i-ran-across-an-excerpt-today-in-english_2690369.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I ran across an excerpt today (in English translation) of some dialogue/narration from the modern popular…” — Roman Payne", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“i believe in One God,though you think that the gods dwell in those clouds on the Fifth Mountain.i don't want to argue whether my God is stronger or more powerful;I would speak not of our differences but of our similarities.Tragedy has united us in a single sentiment:despair.Why has that come to pass?Because we thought that everything was answered and decided in our souls,and we could accept no changes.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Paulo Coelho" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/paulo-coelho/i-believe-in-one-god-though-you-think-that-the-gods-dwell-in-those/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d42/paulo-coelho-10_coelho_i-believe-in-one-god-though-you-think-th_2718373.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d42/paulo-coelho-10_coelho_i-believe-in-one-god-though-you-think-th_2718373.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d42/paulo-coelho-10_coelho_i-believe-in-one-god-though-you-think-th_2718373.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“i believe in One God,though you think that the gods dwell in those clouds on the Fifth Mountain.i don't want…” — Paulo Coelho", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "Vanities and all vanities and there's nothing new under the sun...", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Zarnab" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/zarnab/vanities-and-all-vanities-and-there-s-nothing-new-under-the-sun/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6cc/zarnab-9248_coelho_vanities-and-all-vanities-and-there-s-no_3037673.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6cc/zarnab-9248_coelho_vanities-and-all-vanities-and-there-s-no_3037673.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6cc/zarnab-9248_coelho_vanities-and-all-vanities-and-there-s-no_3037673.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Vanities and all vanities and there's nothing new under the sun...” — Zarnab", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/coelho/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/coelho/", "name": "Coelho Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/coelho/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/151/paulo-coelho-10_alchemist_when-people-consult-me-it-s-not-that-i-m_666498.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 8 Coelho quotes by 4 authors.
