Quoting Coelho

After some time, you'll get to miss indulging in this guy's wisdom and perennial emo words. I stopped reading him for years- and I mean years- after I got caught in the whole Coelho craze back in college.

Sharing quotes from "The Manuscript Found in Accra" I finished couple of months back.  An entire chapter talked about the ever elusive, ever destructive, ever beautiful L word.




In order to hear Love's words, you must allow Love to approach.

Love transforms, Love heals. But sometimes it lays deadly traps and ends up destroying the person who decided to surrender himself completely. How can the forces that moves the world and keeps the stars in their places be at once so creative and so devastating?

Love is an act of faith, not an exchange.

Sometimes, when loneliness seems about to crush everything, the only way to exist is to keep on loving.

Our great goal in life is to love, the rest is silence.

… the tears suddenly vanish. Because we managed to keep our hearts open, despite the pain. Because we realized that the person who left us did not take the sun with them or leave darkness in their place. They simply left, and with every farewell comes a hidden hope.

Love is only a word, until someone arrives to give it meaning. Don't give up. Remember, it's always the last key on the key ring opens the door.
