hasrat jiwa yang sejati dan terdalam adalah keinginan untuk selalu dekat dengan seseorang. bila saat itu tiba, segalanya akan berubah, lelaki dan perempuan akan berinteraksi dan saling memberi, namun hal-hal yang menyebabkannya-pesona dan ketertarikan yang menyatukan mereka- begitu sulit dijelaskan. karena itu tak lain adalah nafsu yang paling murni dan apa adanya.

Love, everyone of us needs love.
Be it men or women, whatever their occupation is. Even someone with "the lowest occupation on earth (so they say)". Even if people say a prostitute never works with her heart (only her body).

Hollaback! This book will definitely turns you on! Hahaha.. Paulo Coelho is the master! He describes something like sex, which in few places seems to be so taboo. But in this book, he describes it so beautifully and elegant. And i really want to give a big applause to Maria, the main character, for her willingness to find her one true love. Even if she was a prostitute, she still believe in true love. Maybe we should learn from her, having faith and hope in love. X)

"..I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first instant we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling us otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings."
