By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept (1994) by Paulo Coelho & the Art of Loving Well
“He turned to me. ‘It’s a very simple sentence,’ he said. ‘I love you.’”
Where Books and Readers Come Together
“He turned to me. ‘It’s a very simple sentence,’ he said. ‘I love you.’”
“I promise you that your life will magically transform, and that you will learn the secrets to manifesting your heart’s desire.”
“Learn from your dreams, because the stuff of time and space is no different. Forget your past. Pitch the logic. And drop the cursed hows.”
A remarkable, eye-opening book that dispels any belief that men and women are in fact the same.
“Digital technology also functions like a prosthetic memory permitting the excluded to document and narrate ephemeral, every day activities and overlooked forms of expression or resistance.”
Taking risks is all about seeking a better life and realizing dreams into reality. Not about failure.
“To do great work,” write the authors, “you need to feel that you’re making a difference. That you’re putting a meaningful dent in the universe. That you’re part of something important.”
If you think Khaled is the boy Amir who witnesses his servant and childhood friend, Hassan, being anally raped in an alley and does nothing and then seeks a life-long journey of redemption, then I am afraid your credulity may make it difficult to separate fact from fiction in any story or event.
“We kill our dreams because we are afraid to fight the good fight.”
A book you’d like to keep by your bedside to read a chapter each night before sleep or upon waking early in the morning.
Aleph is an inspirational story
Maria goes in search for her dreams without losing the best parts of her soul or her faith.
