“She was doing it because she had nothing to lose, because her life was one of constant, day to day frustration.”
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

“She wasn't a victim of fate, she was running her own risks, pushing beyond her own limits, experiencing things which, one day, in the silence of her heart, in the tedium of old age, she would remember almost with nostalgia - however absurd that might seem.”
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

“If you want to achieve your objectives, you have to be prepared for a daily dose of pain or discomfort. At first, it's unpleasant and demotivating, but in time you come to realise that it's part of the process of feeling good, and the moment arrives when, if you don't feel pain, you have a sense that the exercises aren't having the desired effect.”
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

“وإذ قلنا للملائكة اسجدوا لآدم فسجدوا إلا إبليس...، أفتتخذونه وذريته أولياء من دوني وهم لكم عدو؟
ويشبه أن يكون تحت هذا الخطاب نوع من العتاب لطيف عجيب! وهو أني عاديت إبليس إذ لم يسجد لأبيكم آدم مع ملائكتي، فكانت معاداته لأجلكم، ثم كان عاقبة هذه المعاداة أن عقدتم بينكم وبينه عقد المصالحة؟”
― ابن قيم الجوزية, الجواب الكافي لمن سأل عن الدواء الشافي
