Quotations from the book Brida by Paulo Coelho

“…in life, each person can take one of two attitudes: to build or to plant. The builders might take years over their tasks, but one day, they finish what they’re doing. Then they find they’re hemmed in by their own walls. Life losses its meaning when the building stops. “

            “Then there are those who plant. They endure storms and many vicissitudes of the seasons, and they rarely rest. But unlike a building, a garden never stops growing. And while it requires the gardener’s constant attention, it also allows life for the gardener to be a great adventure.”

 

“…it provides answers that few human beings ever manage to find in a whole lifetime, or perhaps because it evokes a romantic past.”

“…it isn’t true that you want to be alone.”

“Perhaps women needed men more than men needed women.”

“They worked hard and honestly, they feared God and they tried to help their fellow man. They did all these things because they had known love.”

“People had been trying to understand the universe through love ever since the beginning of time.”

“Disappointment, defeat, despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.”

“Perhaps solitude has made man his madness worse.”

“She had meet people who had lost the flow of being alive because they could no longer fight against loneliness and had ended up becoming addicted to it.”

“…people who believed the world to be an undignified, inglorious place, and who spend their evenings and nights talking on and on about the mistakes others made.”

“…that trust is called Faith.”

“It only existed because she believed in it. Miracles couldn’t be explained either, but they existed for those who believe in them.”

“…for us each day is a dark night. None of us knows what might happen even the next time, and yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have faith.”

“That every moment in life is an act of faith.”

“And yet she didn’t have the courage to change. She needed to be constantly struggling to discover her path.”

“And although she was sometimes dissatisfied with herself, she felt unable to go beyond her own limitations.”

I’m inlove w/ Nicholas Spark’s!

I’m really starting to like Nicholas Sparks. Even though i noticed that (almost) all of his books ends in not so very happy ending, i still admirehim. He didn’t disappoint me with Dear John.

I bought  Dear John because i was excited to see the movie, so i thought, maybe, i should read the book so it’ll let me slow down on being so excited for the movie.

So there i am purchasing the first Nicholas book of my life. And thank God i bought it,be cause, i was not dissatisfied. The moment i flipped page 1, its like i don’t want to put it  down and i should just finish it already. And untill then, i promised myself, i will buy every title he will publish! And as of this moment, i have Dear John & The Last Song.

Quotations from the book The last Song by Nicholas Sparks

“He knew it was a ridiculous fantasy, but without music he felt aimless and adrift.”

“What did he mean when he felt God’s prescence? How could anyone explain such a thing? It would be like describing colors to someone blind from birth: The words might be understood, but the concept would remain mysterious and private.”

“… he’d really been searching for ways to fill his emptiness he sometimes felt inside him.”

“…people didnt changhe. They liked what they liked, even if they didnt know why.”

“Because i should have trusted my instincts…”

“The next you’re mad at me, talk to me. Don’t shut me out. I don’t like playing games.”

“There are guys who grow up thinking they’ll settle down some distant time in the future, and there are guys who are ready for marriage as soon as they meet the right person.”

“If the relationship can’t survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?”

Kapitan Sino ni Bob Ong

I’m drooling and brainstorming on how Bob Ong actually writes his books. They are full of meaning, very fruitful and very true. The stories in it, the people its all true.
I just can’t seem to figure out how he makes them. From the first time i read his first book ABANKKBSNPLAKO it made me attracted to his works that i have all his books (but some are borrowed and never been returned untill this moment).
With the lines so full of meaning, like you have to dig deep to every line to get alot of if. It makes me wonder and thing in every line he writes and portrays.
My classmates in MMSU batac BSN 1-B, i contaminated many of them on Bob Ong thats why they have my books ang i dont even know if they still have it. Im planning to buy new copies of the books they borrowed but never returnes but sadly, i got so many books on my wishlist that i have to buy first.
So, i hope i’ll get my books safe and sound.
