Don't think about what youโll tell people afterward. The time is here and now. Make the most of it.
Paulo CoelhoOnce upon a time, there was a prostitute called Maria. Wait a minute. "Once upon a time" is how all the best children's stories begin, and "prostitute" is a word for adults. How can I start a book with this apparent contradiction? But since, at every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss, let's keep that beginning.
Paulo CoelhoA rose dreams of enjoying the company of bees, but none appears. The sun asks: โArenโt you tired of waiting?โ โYes,โ answers the rose, โbut if I close my petals, I will wither and die.
