Quote by Paulo Coelho

“Certain things cannot be shared. Nor can we be afraid of the oceans into which we plunge of our own free will; fear cramps everyone's style. Man goes through hell in order to understand this. Love one another, but let's not try to possess one another. I love this man sitting before me now, because I do not possess him and he does not possess me. We are free in our mutual surrender; I need to repeat this dozens, hundreds, millions of time(s), until I finally believe my own words.”

Her great and heart-warming Killing Me Softly is one song on everyone’s tongue, a song strong enough to rid its listener of enteric disorders, a song hummed by all and remembered by all —as its singer, our dear Roberta, would forever be remembered.”

“But people who've gotten that far into the faith never totally shake it. To be a former believer is to perpetually return to the scene of the crime. It's been ten years since I left Moody, and I still find myself stalling on the Christian radio station to hear a call-in debate, or lurking around the religion section of chain bookstores, perusing the titles on the Christianity shelves like a porn addict sneaking a glance at a Victoria's Secret Catalog.”

“President Bush and others are dead wrong when they say that Islam is a great and peaceful faith that has been hijacked by a few extremists. In fact, Islam is a vile and violent faith that establishes extremism and that has been hijacked by the pretend Muslims who, by their own human decency, have given this barbaric superstition the appearance of legitimacy to the uninformed.”

“Er zit een geheim in alles wat je ziet en zelfs als je dat geheim oplost blijft er het geheim van je vermogen om het te zien en op te lossen. Denk ook vooral niet dat ik met open mond van verbazing door de wetenschap gezworven heb, slechts gedreven door nieuwsgierigheid. Noodzaak, mislukking, geld of gemakzucht hebben me vaak een andere kant op geleid maar altijd weer naar de ontdekking van de natuurlijke schoonheid in elk mens en elk levend wezen. Je kunt zowel schoonheid horen in het gepiep van ratten als in het gepiep van autobanden, net zo goed als je schoonheid kunt zien in de vorm van onbegrijpelijke wolken en bergen en meren en in de geest van kinderen.”
