It takes a huge effort to free yourself from memory, but when you succeed, you start to realize that youโre capable of far more than you imagined. You live in this vast body called the Universe, which contains all the solutions and all the problems. Visit your soul; donโt visit your past. The Universe goes through many mutations and carries the past with it. We call each of those mutations a โlife,โ but just as the cells in your body change and yet you remain the same, so time does not pass, it merely changes.
Paulo CoelhoHowever happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.
Paulo CoelhoNo one lights a lamp in order to hide it behind the door: the purpose of light is to create more light, to open people's eyes, to reveal the marvels around.
