Quote by Paulo Coelho

“Porque no vivo ni en mi pasado ni en mi futuro. Tengo sólo el presente, y él es el que me interesa. Si puedes permanecer siempre en el presente, serás un hombre feliz. Percibirás que en el desierto existe vida, que el cielo tiene estrellas, y que los guerreros luchan porque esto forma parte de la raza humana. La vida será una fiesta, un gran festival, porque ella es siempre sólo el momento que estamos viviendo.”

“Go not to bed leaving bread and milk behind On the table: these summon the dead. But He, the exorcist, mingles Under the mildness of our eyelids Their spectres amongst all else that we see; And the spells from fumitory of earth smoke and of rue Are as explicit to Him as the clearest logical connection. Nothing can derange for Him the truly formed image, Be it of graves, be it of rooms, Singing of rings, of spangles, of urns.”
