Rumi" Whispers of the Beloved "

Quebre o copo!
(trecho de "Na margem do rio Piedra eu sentei e chorei")
O vinho tornava as coisas mais fáceis para ele. E para mim.
– Por que você parou de repente? Por que não quer falar de Deus, da Virgem, do mundo espiritual?
– Quero falar de outro tipo de amor – insistiu. – Aquele que um homem e [...:]

Que ninguém se lembre de nós
Paulo Coelho
No mosteiro de Sceta, o abade Lucas reuniu os frades para o sermão.
- Que vocês jamais sejam lembrados – disse ele.

- No tempo em que todo mundo era justo, ninguém prestava atenção nas pessoas exemplares [...:]
