    Paulo Coelho
    “Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.

If we are desperate, though, if we have nothing to lose, or if we are full of enthusiasm for life, then the unknown reveals itself, and our universe changes direction.”
    Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.”
