I am talking to you, but the moment I am talking to you, the universe is being created and destroyed.
Paulo CoelhoExcessive caution destroys the soul and the heart, because living is an act of courage, and an act of courage is always an act of love.
Paulo CoelhoEverything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.
Paulo CoelhoSurrendering completely to love, be it human or divine, means giving up everything, including our own well-being or our ability to make decisions. It means loving in the deepest sense of the word. The truth is that we don't want to be saved in the way God has chosen; we want to keep absolute control over our every step, to be fully conscious of our decisions, to be capable of choosing the object of our devotion.
