What is your Zahir?
September 13, 2005“This book might one day reach her hands and even if it doesn’t, I am now a man at peace with his spirit. I no longer wrestle with my wounded pride,I no longer look for Esther on every corner, in every bar and cinema, at every supper, I no longer look for her in Marie or in the newspapers.
On the contrary, I am pleased that she exists; she has shown me that I am capable of a love of which I knew nothing, and this leaves me in a state of grace.
I accept the Zahir, and will let it lead me into a state of either holiness or madness.”
Also found page 269 and 270 pretty interesting and true, probably all of us thought about this but who dares to change one single rule?

Book Review: The Zahir
I just finished The Zahir by Paulo Coehlo. Not satisfied at all!!
NOTE: SPOILER POTENTIAL - Don’t read past this if you don’t want to know anything about the book!
I completely enjoyed the book until the final 30 pages or so. Up…

just noticed your reply to my trackback (after more than a year!) - i don’t think that I’ve ever had my blog set to require registering, but it does require that you wait until i moderate the comment before it goes up. I get way too many spam comments…
