Brida- Paulo Coelho

I read this book last year, in December, when I was at home for my vacations. Its now that I have got time to talk about the book that I fell in love with.

I think most of you all would have read the book, if you haven't, one suggestion from my side is to read this book. If you like a bit of philosophy and you can apply it practically, this book is something worth treasuring. It's a moving tale of love, passion, ,mystery and spirituality.


Not reavealing what's there in the book , I would like to quote some of the lines from the book which I loved.


" Human beings are interlinked, like the cards in a deck."


Wisdom- " When a male knowledge joins with a female transformation, then the magical union is created and its name is wisdom. Wisdom means both to know and to transform."



" The whole of man's life on the face of earth can be summed up by the search for his Soulmate. He may pretend to be running after wisdom, money or power, but none of that matters. Whatever he achieves will be incomplete if he fails to find his soulmate."


"One must not bother trying to explain one's emotions."


"Live everything as intensely as one can and keep whatever one feels as a gift from God."


" Nothing in this world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."


"Emotions are like wild horses. They demand to be heard."


"When we are in love, then we are capable of learning everything and of knowing things one had never dared even to think, because love is the key to the understanding of all mysteries."
