By the River Piedra, I Sat Down and Wept (by: PAULO COELHO)
This book is so good!!! so many insights, many things to learn and nakakainlove!!!! i recommend you guys to read this one.....the following are quotes from the book itself...galing talaga.... :)
- rarely do we realize that we are in the midst of the extraordinary
- the heart decides, and what it decides is all that really matters
- there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth
- we suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. (mashado kasi tayong selfish!!!)
- to love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the spark of God (whow!)
- we wil only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen
- joy is sometimes a blessing but it is often a conquest
- at any given moment in our lives, there are certain things that could have happened but didn't. the magic moments go unrecognized and then suddenly the hand of destiny changes everything
- life teaches us many things. it taught me that we can learn, and it taught me that we can change even when it seems impossible (nasa sa'yo lang 'yun!)
- no one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes. and any woman with the least bit of sensitivity can read the eyes of a man in love (gurls can read man's eyes!)
- human wisdom is madness in the eyes of God (tama!!!)
- there are moments when you have to take a risk, to do crazy things
- love has to be possible. even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire (so.....wag mawalan ng pag-asa!!!)
- the wise are wise only because they love. and the foolish are foolish only because they think they can understand love
- lovers need to know how to lose themselves and then how to find themselves again
- love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current (kaya....don't let a tiny crack form into your relationship!!!)
- to love is to lose control
- love is a trap. when it appears we see only its light not its shadows
- there's nothing deeper than love
- there are some things in life that are worth fighting for to the end.
- the universe always helps us fight for our dreams, no matter how foolish they may be. our dreams are our own, and only we can know the effort required to keep them alive (dream the impossible dream!!!)
- it's risky, falling in love
- love doesn't need to be discussed, it has its own voice and speaks for itself
- love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere
- happiness is something that multiplies when it is divided (ano daw???)
- the truth resides where there is faith
- only a man who is happy can create happiness in others (beeeeee happy!!!)
- a divided person cannot face life in a dignified way
- waiting is painful. forgetting is painful. but knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering (ouch!!!!)
- true love was above all that and that it would be better to die than to fail to love
- even if loving meant leaving, or solitude or sorrow, love was worth every penny of its price (ur very much right!!!)
- love can only be found through the act of loving
- love doesn't ask many questions, because if we stop to think we become fearful. that's why you don't ask - you act (action speaks louder than words!!!)
- in order to find God, you have only to look around
- love always causes stupidity (tanga talaga!!!)
- the closer we get to God through our faith, the simpler He becomes. and the simpler He becomes, the greater is his presence
- no single day is the same as any other and that each morning brings its own special miracle (di na pwedeng ulitin!!!)
- it's easy to suffer because you love a person. it's easy to suffer for a cause or a mission.
- life existed before we were born and will continue to exist after we leave this world (so do what you have to do -- love!!!)
- love perseveres. it's men who change (bakit kaya???)
- "i am going to sit here with you by the river. if you go home to sleep, i will sleep in front of your house. and if you go away, i will follow you - until you tell me to go away. then i'll leave. but i have to love you for the rest of my life" (haaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!)
- dream means work....
