Witch of Portobello

No one sacrifices the most important thing she possesses: Love. No one places her dreams in the hands of those who might destroy them. I applauded when reason lost the battle and all I could do was surrender and accept that I was in love. If there is any possible consolation in the tragedy of losing someone we love very much, it's necessary hope that perhaps it was for the best. No one can manipulate anyone else. In any relationship, both parties know what they're doing, even if one of them complains later on that they were used. Having little to lose or to hope for in life took greater risks than other people and ended up being transformed into the forces she thought she mastered. And the best way to know who we are is often to find out how others see us. This doesn't mean that we should do what others expect us to do, but it helps us to understand ourselves better. Life, however, had other plans--when fate is very generous with us, there is always a well into which all ou...

Memories of My Melancholy Whores

Inspiration gives no warnings. What isn't natural is (my) age. No old man forgets where he has hidden his treasure. Let no one be deceived, no, thinking that what he awaits will last longer than what he has seen. I discovered improbable pleasure of contemplating the body of a sleeping woman without the urgencies of desire or the obstacles of modesty. A body as provocative with clothes as without Age isn't how old you are but how old you feel. In the end, it is impossible not to become what others believe you are.

Warrior of Light

All world's roads lead to the heart of the warrior; he plunges hesitatingly into the river of passions always flowing through his life. A Warrior of Light does not rely on strength alone, he makes use of his opponent's energy too. He opens his heart to the Universe and asks God to give him the inspiration he needs to turn every blow from his enemy into a lesson in self-defense. A Warrior of Light never resorts to trickery but he knows to distract his opponent. A Warrior of light knows what he wants. And has no need to waste time on explanation. More than once he has wasted his fighting for a lie. And he has suffered for people who did not deserve his love. Convince your enemy that he will gain very little by attacking you. This will diminish his enthusiasm. Do not be ashamed to make a temporary withdrawal from the field if you see that your enemy is stronger than you; it is not winning or losing a single battle that matters but how the war ends. In war, the key to victory is, t...

Love Without Love by Luis Llorens Torres

I love you, because in my thousand and one nights of dreams, I never once dreamed of you. I looked down paths that traveled from afar, but it was never you I expected. Suddenly I've felt you flying through my soul in quick, lofty flight, and how beautiful you seem way up there, far from my always idiot heart! Love me that way, flying over everything. And, like the bird on its branch, land in my arms only to rest, then fly off again. Be not like the romantic ones who, in love, set me on fire, When you climb up my mansion, enter so lightly, that as you enter the dog of my heart will not bark. Translated by Julio Marzan

The Eloquent Sound of Silence by Iyer

"All profound things and emotions of things are preceded and attended by Silence." "We have to earn silence, then, to work for it: to make it not an absence but a presence; not emptiness but repletion." "In silence, we often say, we can hear ourselves think; but what is truer to say is that in silence we can hear ourselves not think, and so sink below ourselves into a place far deeper than mere thought allows." "Silence is responsiveness." "A moment of silence is the highest honor we can pay someone; it is the point at which the mind stops and something else takes over (words run out when feelings rush in)." "Silence, like all the best things, is best appreciated in its absence." "Words, words, words" commit us to positions we do not really hold, the imperatives of a chatter; babble with strangers; with intimates we can be silent. "In love, we are speechless, in awe, we say, words fail us."

Brida by Paulo Coelho

Each person can take one of two attitudes: to build or to plant. Every moment in life is an act of faith. That process of finding ourselves is called Love. "There are many cards," she said, "but they're all part of the same deck. In order to understand their message, we need them all, all are equally important. So it with souls." --Wicca Brida: "Is it possible to meet more than one soul mate in each life?" Wicca: "Yes" (with a certain bitterness) "and when that happens the heart is divided, and the result is pain and suffering. Yes we can meet 3 or 4 soulmates because we are many and we are scattered." Fairy tales had been her first experience if the magical universe that she now so eager to enter and more than once she had wondered why people ended up distancing themselves from that world, knowing the immense joy that childhood had brought to their lives. The essence of creation is one and one alone. And that essence is called Lo...
