Zahir Quotes

“Two more divorces. Free again, but it’s just a feeling; freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose—and commit myself to—what is best for me.”
― Paulo Coehlo, Veronika Decides to Die

“U svakom medjuljudskom odnosu najvazniji je razgovor; ali ljudi se vise ne bave time: da sjednu da bi razgovarali i slusali jedni druge. Idu u pozoriste, bioskop, gledaju televiziju, slusaju radio, citaju knjige ali gotovo da i ne razgovaraju. Ako zelimo da promjenimo svijet, moramo da se vratimo u doba kada su se ratnici okupljali oko vatere i pricali price.”
― Paulo Coelho

“Kada se vrate kucama, reci ce da su upoznali Pariz. Sutra moraju da vide Mona Lizu, pa ce reci da su obisli Luvr. Ne poznaju oni Pariz, a nisu bili ni u Luvru. Samo se se provozali brodom i pogledali jednu sliku, jednu jedinu sliku. Koja je razlika izmadju gledanja pornografskog filma i vodjenja ljubavi? Ista kao i razlika izmedju gledanja grada i pokusaja da se sazna sta se u njemu desava, odlaska u kafane, hodanje ulicama koje se ne nalaze u turistickoim vodicima. Covjek treba da se izgubi da bi pronasao samog sebe.”
― Paulo Coelho

“The next day, I talked to two friends; obviously, I didn't use myself as an example, but I asked them if they had ever felt aroused when they caught another man staring at their wife's cleavage. They didn't really answer the question because it's such a taboo. But they both agreed that it's always nice to know that your wife is desired by another man, although they wouldn't go any further than that. Is this a secret fantasy hidden in the hearts of all men? I don't know. This last week has been a little hell for both of us simply because I didn't understand my own feelings. And because I can't understand them, I blame her for provoking in me feelings that make my world seem suddenly unsafe.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

“Acı dolu günleri inkar etmiyorum ; izlerini madalyalar gibi taşıyorum içimde.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

“No desentraño cuáles fueron mis sentimientos; recuerdo la desesperación cuando comprendí que ya nada me salvaría, el intrínseco alivio de saber que yo no era culpable de mi desdicha …”
― Jorge Luis Borges, The Aleph and Other Stories
