(Paulo Coelho)

• "There is no sin but the lack of love," Valhalla continued. "Have courage, be capable of loving, even if love appears to be a treacherous and terrible thing. Be happy in love. Be joyful in victory. Follow the dictates of your heart." (pg. 119)
• And love meant dividing the world with someone. (pg. 193)
• When God wants to drive a person insane, he grants that person's every wish. (pg. 203)
• We are not alone. The world is changing, and we are a part of the transformation. The angels guide us and protect us. Despite all the injustice in the world, and despite the things that happen to us that we feel we don't deserve, and despite the fact that we sometimes feel incapable of changing what is wrong with people and with the world, and despite all of the Grand Inquisitor's arguments - love is even stronger, and it will help us to grow. Only then will we be able to understand the stars and miracles. (pg. 209)
