Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons weโve learned as weโve moved toward that dream. Thatโs the point at which most people give up. Itโs the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.
Paulo CoelhoEveryone knows how to love,because we are all born with that gift.Some people have a natural talent for it but the majority of us have to re-learn,to remember how to love,and everyone,without exception,needs o burn on the bonfire of past emotions,to relieve certain joys and griefs,certain ups and downs,until they can see the connecting thread that exists behind each new encounter;because there is a connecting thread.
Paulo CoelhoWe have been moving along at such a fast pace that we no longer know what we are doing. Now we have to wait until our soul catches up with us.
Paulo CoelhoI simply believe that a book has a journey to make, and should not be condemned to being stuck on a shelfโฆ Letโs leave our books free to travel, then, to be touched by other hands, and enjoyed by other eyes.
