closing cycles by paulo coelho

illustration by ken crane

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.

Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

dreamers and realists

There are dreamers and there are realists in this world.
