Paulo CoelhoNo one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.
Paulo CoelhoBecause of that she had never had enough energy to be herself, a person who, like everyone else in the world, needed other people in order to be happy. But other people were so difficult.

When someone more open to life appeared, they either rejected them outright or made them suffer, consigning them to being inferior, ingenuous.
