The Winner Stands Alone

“Life has many ways of testing a person’s will,either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once”

Arabic proverb – “Blessed be that which gives your children wings and roots”

“Roots – There is a place in the world where we are born,where we learn our mother tongue and discover how our ancestors overcame the problems they had to face. There always comes a point when we feel responsible for that place.”

“Wings – They reveal to us the endless horizons of the imagination,they carry us to our dreams and to distant places. It is our wings that allow us to know the roots of our fellow men and to learn from them.”

“How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can’t destroy it; if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don’t they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us? ”
— Paulo Coelho The Winner Stands Alone

“Someone’s spirit, however, has no name; it is pure truth and inhabits a particular body for a certain period of time, and will, one day, leave it, and God won’t bother asking, “What’s your name?” when the soul arrives at the final judgment. God will only ask: “Did you love while you were alive?” For that is the essence of life: the ability to love, not the name we carry around on our passport, business card, and identity card.” The Winner Stands Alone Quotes
