Quotes About Spirituality

I believe in every possible manifestation of spiritual strangeness. I believe in all possible escapes. The only thing I cannot endure is reality, whatever it may be. I believe that the writer is defined by the constant necessity of creating a world, to depart from this world. Literature is more concerned with misery than with happiness. Writing is directly related to frustration. It is a reflection of personal desperation. The writer is profoundly disgusted with his reality.

Covek ne voli zato sto zeli da ucini dobro, ili da pomogne, ili da zastiti nekoga. Ako tako postupamo, posmatramo svog bliznjeg kao puki objekat, a sami sebe dozivljavamo kao velikodusne i mudre osobe. To nema nikakve veze s ljubavlju. Voleti znaci ostvariti zajednistvo s drugim i otkriti u njemu bozansku iskru.

Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other. Generally speaking, these meetings occur when we reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. These meetings are waiting for us, but more often than not, we avoid them happening.

~ Paulo Coelho
