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 CoelhoEach morning brings a hidden blessing; a blessing which is unique to that day, and which cannot be kept or re-used. If we do not use this miracle today, it will be lost.
Paulo CoelhoThe Virgin (and I'm not speaking here of a sexual virgin) is the one whose search springs from her complete independence, and everything she learns is the fruit of her ability to face challenges alone.
Paulo CoelhoIt 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 Coelho
