“A sense of paradise descends from the skies. And I am aware that I am living through an unforgettable moment in my life; it is the kind of awareness we often have precisely when the magic moment has passed. I’m entirely here, without past, without future, entirely focused on the morning, on the music of the horses’ hooves, on the gentleness of the wind caressing my body, on the unexpected grace of contemplating sky, earth, men. I feel a sense of adoration and ecstasy. I’m thankful for being alive. I pray quietly, listening to the voice of nature, and understanding that the invisible world always manifest itself in the visible world.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

“Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand.”

“I understood it, all right," the boy said. "It was a game, wasn't it? Do grown men always have to play games? Does everything have to be an excuse for another kind of game? Do any men grow up or do they only come of age?”
― Stephen King, The Gunslinger
