ALEPH by PAULO COELHO

"We all end up where we are now; grown-ups doing everything we can to be accepted and loved."

"All our difficulties, all our meanness and generosity, we can still love the simple things in life. The samurai used to leave their swords outside before going into a house, sitting down in the correct posture, and taking part in an elaborate tea ceremony. During that time, they could forget all about war and devote themselves to worshipping beauty." paulocoelho
