People Want To Change Everything And, At The Same Time, Want It All To Remain The Same.

Signs Are An Extremely Personal Language That We Develop Throughout Our Lives, By Trial And Error, Until We Begin To Understand That God Is Guiding Us.

Trial And Error

When We Turn Around & Come Face To Face With Our Destiny, We Discover That Words (spoken) Are Not Enough. I Know So Many People Who Are Brilliant Speakers But Are Quite Incapable Of Practising What They Preach. It's One Thing To Describe A Situation & Quite Another To Experience It. I Realised A Long Time Ago That A Warrior In Search Of His Dream Must Take His Inspiration From What He Actually Does & Not From What He Imagines Himself Doing.

Going After A Dream Has A Price. It May Mean Abandoning Our Habits, It May Make Us Go Through Hardships, Or It May Lead Us To Disappointment, Et Cetera. But However Costly It May Be, It Is Never As High As The Price Paid By People Who Didn't Live. Because One Day They Will Look Back And Hear Their Own Heart Say: 'i Wasted My Life.'

All Haters Are Losers, Even When They Win.

We Buy Books, We Go To Gyms, We Expend A Lot Of Brain Power On Trying To Hold Back Time, When We Should Be Celebrating The Miracle Of Being Here In This World.

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.

Profound Commitment To A Dream Does Not Confine Or Constrain: It Liberates. Even A Difficult, Winding Path Can Lead To Your Goal If You Follow It To The End.

Well, To Find, Not The Meaning Of Life Because I Believe In Mysteries, I Believe That There Is A Mystery That Goes Far Beyond Our Understanding.

Meaning Of Life

We Are All A Part Of The Divine Spark. All Have A Purpose In Creation And That Purpose Is Called Love. That Love, However, Shouldn't Be Concentrated In Just One Person, It Should Be Scattered Throughout The World, Waiting To Be Discovered. Wake Up That Love. What Is Gone Cannot Return. What Is About To Arrive Needs To Be Recognized.

The Warrior Of The Light Never Forgets The Old Saying: The Good Little Goat Doesn't Bleat.

His [elijah] Heart Was Beginning To Give Signs Of Alarm; He Was Enjoying Being At This Woman's Side. Love Could Be A More Frightening Experience Than Standing Before Ahab's Soldier With An Arrow Aimed At His Heart; If The Arrow Had Struck Him, He Would Be Dead -and The Rest Was Up To God. But If Love Struck Him, He Alone Would Have To Take Responsibility For The Consequences.

I Am In The Aleph, The Point At Which Everything Is In The Same Place At The Same Time. I'm At A Window, Looking Out At The World And Its Secret Places, Poetry Lost In Time And Words Left Hanging In Space...sentences That Are Perfectly Understood, Even When Left Unspoken. Feelings That Simultaneously Exalt And Suffocate.

I Think That When We Look For Love Courageously, It Reveals Itself, And We Wind Up Attracting Even More Love. If One Person Really Wants Us, Everyone Does. But If We’re Alone, We Become Even More Alone. Life Is Strange.

Whenever He Saw The Sea, Or A Fire, He Fell Silent, Impressed By Their Elemental Force.

Because Of That She Had Never Had Enough Energy To Be Herself, A Person Who, Like Everyone Else In The World, Needed Other People In Order To Be Happy. But Other People Were So Difficult. They Reacted In Unpredictable Ways, They Surrounded Themselves With Defensive Walls, They Behaved Just As She Did, Pretending They Didn't Care About Anything.

Emotions Are Wild Horses.

Each Day For Me Is A Musical Note That I Use To Compose The Symphony Of My Life.

If It's Still In Your Mind, It Is Still In Your Heart.

Scars Are Medals Branded On The Flesh, And Your Enemies Will Be Frightened By Them Because They Are Proof Of Your Long Experience Of Battle.

But Love Is Much Like A Dam; If You Allow A Tiny Crack To Form Through Which Only A Trickle Of Water Can Pass, That Trickle Will Quickly Bring Down The Whole Structure And Soon No One Will Be Able To Control The Force Of The Current.

I Think Classical Ballet Dancers Dance On Pointe Because They're Simultaneously Touching The Earth And Reaching Up To The Skies

Hide Your Craziness Behind A Beautiful Smile. That's All You Need.

I Receive Your Love And I Give You Mine. Not The Love Of A Man For A Woman, Not The Love Of A Father For A Child, Not The Love Of God For His Creatures, But A Love With No Name And No Explanation, Like A River That Cannot Explain Why It Follows A Particular Course, But Simply Flows Onwards. A Love That Asks For Nothing And Gives Nothing In Return; It Is Simply There. I Will Never Be Yours And You Will Never Be Mine; Nevertheless, I Can Honestly Say: I Love You

The Young All Have The Same Dream: To Save The World. Some Quickly Forget This Dream, Convinced That There Are More Important Things To Do, Like Having A Family, Earning Money, Traveling, And Learning A Foreign Language. Others, Though, Decide That It Really Is Possible To Make A Difference In Society And To Shape The World We Will Hand On To Future Generations.

Remember Your Dreams And Fight For Them. You Must Know What You Want From Life. There Is Just One Thing That Makes Your Dream Become Impossible, The Fear Of Failure. Never Forget Your Personal Legend. Your Silent Heart Will Guide You. Be Silent Now. It Is The Possibility Of A Dream That Makes Life Interesting. You Can Choose Between Being A Victim Of Destiny Or An Adventurer Who Is Fighting For Something Important.

The Boy Reached Through To The Soul Of The World, And Saw That It Was Part Of The Soul Of God. And He Saw That The Soul Of God Was His Own Soul. And That He, A Boy, Could Perform Miracles.

Love Is An Act Of Faith, Not An Exchange. Contradictions Are What Make Love Grow. Conflicts Are What Allow Love To Remain By Our Side.

I Think The More Information You Can Get, The Better You Can Find Information For Your Own Purposes.

Tragedy Depends On The Way You See It. If You Chose To Be A Victim Of The World, Anything Which Happens To You Will Feed That Dark Side Of Your Soul, Where You Consider Yourself Wronged, Suffering, Guilty And Deserving Punishment. If You Choose To Be An Adventurer, The Changes - Even The Inevitable Losses, Since Everything In This World Changes - Can Cause Some Pain, But Will Soon Thrust You Forward, Forcing You To React.

Why Do We Have To Listen To Our Hearts?” The Boy Asked, When They Had Made Camp That Day. “because, Wherever Your Heart Is, That Is Where You’ll Find Your Treasure.” “but My Heart Is Agitated,” The Boy Said. “it Has Its Dreams, It Gets Emotional, And It’s Become Passionate Over A Woman Of The Dessert.

The Path To Wisdom Is Not Being Afraid To Make Mistakes.

When We Have Great Treasures Before Us, We Can Never See Them.

God Only Allows Us To See Such Things When He Wants Something To Change

No Man Is An Island. To Fight The Good Fight We Need Help.

To Engage In Any Activity, The Warrior Needs To Know What To Expect, How To Achieve The Objective And Whether Or Not He Is Capable Of Carrying Out The Proposed Task.

Love Fills Everything. It Cannot Be Desired Because It Is An End In Itself. It Cannot Betray Because It Has Nothing To Do With Possession. It Cannot Be Held Prisoner Because It Is A River And Will Overflow Its Banks. Anyone Who Tries To Imprison Love Will Cut Off The Spring That Feeds It, And The Trapped Water Will Grow Stagnant.

A Bird In A Cage Is Safe But God Didn't Create Birds For That.

When I Was 40, I Wrote My First Book, The Pilgrimage, And I Said To Myself, "why Did It Take So Long For Me To Write This Book?" Because My Dream, Since I Was 10 Years Old, Was To Be A Writer. I Said, I Have To Revisit My Life Using A Metaphor, And The Metaphor Was Basically This Boy That Has A Dream And Has To Go Far Away To Realize That His Dream Is Close To Him.

Collective Unconscious

Do Not Try To Explain Feelings. Live Everything Intensely And Treasure What You Feel As A Gift From God.

When You Cease Doubting, You Have Stopped Moving Forward.

...in All The Woods And Forests, God Did Not Create A Single Leaf The Same As Any Other... People Go Against Nature Because They Lack The Courage To Be Different.

Love Does Not Ask Many Questions, Because With Thinking Comes Fear. This Might Be The Fear Of Being Scorned, Of Being Rejected, Or Of Breaking The Spell. However Ridiculous This May Seem, That Is How It Is. This Is Why One Does Not Ask, One Acts.

The Moment We Set Off In Search Of Love, It Sets Off In Search Of Us. And Saves Us.

But Time, As Well As Healing All Wounds, Taught Me Something Strange Too: That It's Possible To Love More Than One Person In A Lifetime. I Remarried. I'm Very Happy With My New Wife, And I Can't Imagine Living Without Her. This, However, Doesn't Mean That I Have To Renounce All My Past Experiences, As Long As I'm Careful Not To Compare My Two Lives.

So The Warrior Fights The Good Fight And He Helps Others, Even Though He Does Not Quite Understand Why.

If You Have A Work Instead Of A Job, Every Day Is Holiday

He However Knows When The Enemy Is Stronger.

Playing The Part Of A Charitable Soul Was Only For Those Who Were Afraid Of Taking A Stand In Life. It Is Always Far Easier To Have Faith In Your Own Goodness Than To Confront Others And Fight For Your Rights. It Is Always Easier To Hear An Insult And Not Retaliate Than Have The Courage To Fight Back Against Someone Stronger Than Yourself; We Can Always Say We're Not Hurt By The Stones Others Throw At Us, And It's Only At Night - When We're Alone And Our Wife Or Our Husband Or Our School Friend Is Asleep - That We Can Silently Grieve Over Our Own Cowardice.

If You’re Brave Enough To Say Goodbye, Life Will Reward You With A New Hello.

Or Else It Makes You Go To The Other Extreme And Disguise Yourself As An Avenger Ready To Strike Out At The People Who Hurt You. Isn't That A Waste Of Time?...it Is Human, But It's Not Intelligent Or Reasonable.

Sometimes, Certain Of God's Blessings Arrive By Shattering All The Windows. (brida)

It's Daylight, The Sky Is Cloudy, And Human Beings Believe That Beyond The Clouds Lives An All-powerful God, Guiding The Fate Of Men. Meanwhile, Look At Your Son, Look At Your Feet, Listen To The Sounds Around You: Down Here Is The Mother, So Much Closer, Bringing Joy To Children And Energy To Those Who Walk Over Her Body. Why Do People Prefer To Believe In Something Far Away And Forget What Is There Before Their Eyes, A True Manifestation Of The Miracle?

Sometimes Love Blinds Us, Other Times It Let's Us See.
