The Archer
the Alchemist quotes
Paulo Coelho (Author of The Archer)

“A bow has no conscience: it is a prolongation of the hand and desire of the archer. It can serve to kill or to meditate. Therefore, always be clear about your intentions. (The Archer Quotes)

The Archer Quotes

“A bow is at rest or under tension in the hand of the archer, but the hand is merely the place where all the muscles of the body, all the intentions of the archer, and all the effort of shooting are concentrated.

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“A bow is flexible, but it has its limits. Stretching it beyond its capacity will break it or exhaust the hand holding it. Therefore, try to be in harmony with your instrument and never ask more than it can give.

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“A man’s intention should be perfect, straight, sharp, firm, precise. No one can stop it as it crosses the space separating it from its destiny.

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“A prayer without a deed is an arrow without a bow-string”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Before you begin anything, seek out your allies, people who are interested in what you are doing.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“But never hold back from firing the arrow if all that paralyses you is fear of making a mistake. If you have made the right movements, open your hand and release the string. Even if the arrow fails to hit the target, you will learn how to improve your aim next time.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Continue in the way of the bow, for it is a whole life’s journey, but remember that a good, accurate shot is very different from one made with peace in your soul.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer
The Archer Quotes

“Each arrow flies differently. You can shoot a thousand arrows and each one will follow a different trajectory: that is the way of the bow.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Each arrow leaves a memory in your heart, and it is the sum of those memories that will make you shoot better and better.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Elegance is not the most comfortable of postures, but it is the best posture if the shot is to be perfect.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Every second since then has been a struggle against my vices and against self-pity. I need to remain focused and calm, to do the work I chose to do with love, and never to cling to the present moment, because death is still very close, the abyss is there beside me, and I am walking along the edge.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

 “If you never take a risk, you will never know what changes you need to make.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“In order to understand your bow, it must become part of your arm and an extension of your thoughts.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“It was chosen by the archer and though it is a long way off, we cannot blame it when we fail to hit it. In this lies the beauty of the way of the bow: you can never excuse yourself by saying that your opponent was stronger than you.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Join with all those who experiment, take risks, fall, get hurt, and then take more risks. Stay away from those who affirm truths, who criticize those who do not think like them, people who have never once taken a step unless they were sure they would be respected for doing so, and who prefer certainties to doubts.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Join with those who sing, tell stories, take pleasure in life, and have joy in their eyes, because joy is contagious and can prevent others from becoming paralyzed by depression, loneliness, and difficulties.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Once the arrow has gone, it will not come back, so it is better to interrupt a shot, because the movements that led up to it were not sufficiently precise and correct, than to act carelessly, simply because the bow was fully drawn and the target was waiting.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“People always judge others by taking as a model their own limitations, and other people’s opinions are often full of prejudice and fear. Join with all those who experiment, take risks, fall, get hurt and then take more risks. Stay away from those who affirm truths, who criticise those who do not think like them, people who have never once taken a step unless they were sure they would be respected for doing so, and who prefer certainties to doubts.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Serenity comes from the heart. Although the heart is often tormented by thoughts of insecurity, it knows that through correct posture it will be able to do its best.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“The archer keeps his eyes fixed on the flight of the arrow, but his heart rests, and he smiles.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“The archer learns when he forgets all about the rules of the way of the bow and goes on to act entirely on instinct.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer
The Archer Quotes

“The archer who does not share with others the joy of the bow and the arrow will never know his own qualities and defects.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“The arrow is the intention that leaves the archer’s hand and sets off toward the target; that is, it is free in its flight and will follow the path chosen for it when it was released.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

 “The best allies are those who do not think like everyone else.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“The bow is life: the source of all energy. The arrow will leave one day. The target is a long way off. But the bow will stay with you, and you must know how to look after it.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“The snow is lovely because it has only one color, the sea is lovely because it appears to be a completely flat surface, but both sea and snow are deep and know their own qualities.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“The target can be larger, smaller, to the right or the left, but you always have to stand before it, respect it, and bring it closer mentally. Only when it is at the very end of your arrow should you release the bowstring.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“The way of the bow is the way of joy and enthusiasm, of perfection and error, of technique and instinct. But you will only learn this if you keep shooting your arrows.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“They have the qualities of water: flowing around rocks, adapting to the course of the river, sometimes forming into a lake until the hollow fills to overflowing, and they can continue on their way, because water never forgets that the sea is its destiny and that sooner or later it must be reached.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

 “To hold the arrow is to be in touch with your own intention.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Use your bad moments to discover what makes you tremble. Use your good moments to find your road to inner peace. But do not stop either out of fear or out of joy: the way of the bow has no end.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“We should never judge people without first learning to hear and to respect them.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“What is a master? I would say that he is not someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to do his best to discover a knowledge he already has in his soul.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“You know how to shoot when all the circumstances are favourable, but if you are on dangerous ground, you cannot hit the target. The archer cannot always choose the battlefield, so start your training again and be prepared for unfavourable situations. Continue in the way of the bow, for it is a whole life’s journey, but remember that a good, accurate shot is very different from one made with peace in your soul.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer

“Your allies will not necessarily be the kind of dazzling people to whom everyone looks up to and of whom they say: “There’s none better.” On the contrary, they are people who are not afraid of making mistakes and who do, therefore, make mistakes, which is why their work often goes unrecognized.”

Paulo Coelho
The Archer
