if a book isn't self-explanatory, then it isn't worth readin... - Paulo Coelho, The Zahir
"if a book isn't self-explanatory, then it isn't worth reading."
"if a book isn't self-explanatory, then it isn't worth reading."
"No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy."
"Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives."
"My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing beauty of life once more. It's happened before, it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive--I'll find love again."
"if a book isn't self-explanatory, then it isn't worth reading."
"fanaticism is the only way to put an end to the doubts that constantly trouble the human soul."
