“Because, instead of bitterness, you feel enthusiasm. That is the only difference. Apart from that, one must respect the Mystery, and humbly accept that God has a plan for us. A generous plan, which leads us towards His presence, and which justifies these millions of stars, planets, black holes, etc. which we see tonight,”
― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light

“The weak would never enter the kingdom of love, which is a harsh & ungenerous kingdom & that women gives themselves only to men of resolute spirit, who provides the security they need in order to face life”
― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“If there is suffering, then it's best to accept it, because it won't go away just because you pretend it's not there. If there is joy, then it's best to accept that too, even though you're afraid it might end one day.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

“Και σέρνομαι στο παράθυρο και βλέπω τη νύχτα βουβή ν'απλώνεται και να με περικυκλώνει. Τα δένδρα κοιμούνται. Αποπάνω το φεγγάρι αγρυπνεί. Ακούω την ελαφράν αναπνοή στον ύπνο των που κάνουν τα ρόδα. Σκύβω το κεφάλι μου αγκαλιασμένο από τη νύχτα κι ακούω τη σιωπή και συλλογούμαι. Τ'είναι λοιπόν εκείνο που ζητώ;”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Serpent and Lily: A Novella with a Manifesto: The Sickness of the Age
