The soil needs the seed and the seed needs the soil. The one only has meaning with the other. It is the same thing with human beings. When male knowledge joins with female transformation, then the great magical union is created, and its name is wisdom. Wisdom means both to know and to transform.
Paulo CoelhoI don't know what's going to happen to me tomorrow. That's why I don't save my best for last.
Paulo CoelhoSuccess does not come from having one's work recognized by others. It is the fruit of the seed that you lovingly planted.
Paulo CoelhoShe [the Virgin Mary] was normal. She had already had other children. The Bible tells us that Jesus had two brothers. Virginity, as it relates to Jesus, is based on a different thing: Mary initiated a new generation of grace. A new era began. She is the cosmic bride, Earth, which opens to the heavens and allows itself to be fertilized.
