Paulo Coelho de Souza is best known for his novel, The Alchemist. He is also a Brazilian lyricist and novelist. 

“I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.” Paulo Coelho
