Bein’ Davi da Loca

I had just read an article written by Paulo Coelho and it hit me right on my face.  I searched for some of his other writings and here are some bits and pieces of them:

"You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen."

– "By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept" by Paulo Coelho

"When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself."

– "Eleven Minutes" by Paulo Coelho

"In love, no one can harm anyone else;
we are each of us responsible for our own feelings
and cannot blame someone else for what we feel.

It hurt when I lost each of the various men I fell in love with.
Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone.

That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it." 

– "Eleven Minutes" by Paulo Coelho

"If I had fallen asleep and suddenly woken up on a roller coaster, what would I feel?

… Well, I would feel trapped and sick, terrified of every bend, wanting to get off.
However, if I believe that the track is my destiny and that God is in charge of the machine, then the nightmare becomes something thrilling.
It becomes exactly what it is, a roller coaster, a safe, reliable toy, which will eventually stop, but, while the journey lasts, I must look at the surrounding landscape and whoop with excitement."

– "Eleven Minutes" by Paulo Coelho

I think "Eleven Minutes" will be a good read…(obvious ba???)  From what i’ve read about it’s reader’s reviews, kakaiba sya coz its about love and sex from a prostitute’s point of view.  Thinking of buying it…
