The Witch of Portobello


This amazing new work by Paulo Coelho is intoxicating. I recently started reading this book and could not put it down. The story grips you and there are themes and elements that touch our lives. Below are some quotes that stood out for me while reading. I strongly recommend it.





When I die, bury me standing, because I've spent all my life on my knees


In order for us to understand the powers we carry within us and the secrets that have already been revealed, it was first necessary to allow the surface - expectations, fears, appearances- to be burned away


..we were living in an age in which slavery was the only path to happiness. Free will demands immense responsiblity; it's hard work, it brings with it anguish and suffering
