In order to hear Love’s words, you must allow Love to approach.

However, when it does draw near, we fear what it might say to us, because Love is free and is not ruled by our will or by what we do.

All lovers know this, but refuse to accept it. They think they can seduce Love through submission, power, beauty, wealth, tears and smiles.

True Love, however, is the love that seduces and will never allow itself to be seduced.

Love transforms, love heals.

We are used to thinking that what we give is the same as what we receive, but people who love, expecting to be loved in return, are wasting their time.

Love is an act of faith, not an exchange.

Contradictions are what make love grow. Conflicts are what allow love to remain by our side.

Life is too short for us to keep important words, for example, ‘I love you’, locked in our hearts.

-Paulo Coelho. THE MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN ACCRA

P.S : Waiting sucks at times. But hardly does it suck when you know its gonna happen sometime down the lane. Its just now, on my second read today, that I realised most of the things that I never understood of Paulo's recent book The Aleph. And its exhilarating.Waiting hard for the release of THE MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN ACCRA. Hail Paulo ! :)
