We must love because we are loved by God. We must be conscious of death if we are to have a proper understanding of life. We must struggle in order to grow, but without falling into the trap of the power we gain through that struggle, because we know that power is worthless. Finally, we must accept that our eternal soul is, at this moment, caught in the web of time with all its opportunities and its limitations.
Paulo CoelhoIn order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.
Paulo CoelhoFacing the difficulties, I can choose either to be a poor victim or a great adventurer.
