Quote

The only reason anyone would sell salt more cheaply than usual would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect for the sweat and struggle of the man who laboured to produce it.

I think it is a problem of our society that we don't enjoy (ourselves.) We have these values, like, you have to be rich, you have to get a diploma, you have to work hard, otherwise you are useless, you are nothing but a pariah. And the book asks, 'Is it true? This is what my mom told me, but is it true?

Paulo Coelho

Blaming the government for all the bad things that happen.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The third indication that our dreams are dead is peace.
Paulo Coelho
Image
LIVE. If you live, god will live with you. If you refuse to run his risks, he'll retreat to that distant heaven and be merely a subject for philosophical speculation.
Paulo Coelho
Image
really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.
Paulo Coelho

Everything which is done in the present, affects the future by consequence, and the past by redemption.
Paulo Coelho

I love you like a river that begins as a solitary trickle in the mountains and gradually grows and joins other rivers until, after a certain point, it can flow around any obstacle in order to get where it wants.
Paulo Coelho
