Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

"Death is our constant companion, and it is death that gives each person's life its true meaning."

"We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body."

"We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot reach it."
