  2. Paulo Coelho _ By the River Piedra I Sat Down

    Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment help us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments - but all of this is transitory it leaves no permanent mark. And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.

  6. Yann Martel _ Beatrice and Virgil

    Henry had written a novel because there was a hole in him that needed filling, a question that needed answering, a patch of canvas that needed painting-that blend of anxiety, curiosity and joy that is at the origin of art-and he had filled the hole, answered the question, splashed colour on the canvas, all done for himself, because he had to. Then complete strangers told him that his book had filled a hole in them, had answered a question, had brought colour to their lives. The comfort of strangers, be it a smile, a pat on the shoulder or a word of praise, is truly a comfort.

  7. Isabel Allende _ The Japanese Lover

    Щастието не е бляскаво и шумно като удоволствието или радостта. То е тихо, кротко и нежно, вътрешно състояние на задоволство, което започва, когато обикнеш себе си.

  10. Madeleine L'Engle _ A Swiftly Tilting Planet

    Charles Wallace and the unicorn moved through the time-spinning reaches of a far glazy, and he realized that the galaxy itself was part of a mighty orchestra, and each star and planet within the galaxy added its own instrument to the music of the spheres. As long as the ancient harmonies were sung, the universe would not entirely lose its joy.

  11. Madeleine L'Engle _ A Ring of Endless Light

    A great ring of pure & endless lightDazzles the darkness in my heartAnd breaks apart the dusky clouds of night.The end of all is hinted in the start.When we are born we bear the seeds of blight;Around us life & death are torn apart,Yet a great ring of pure and endless lightDazzles the darkness in my heart.It lights the world to my delight.Infinity is present in each part.A loving smile contains all art.The motes of starlight spark & dart.A grain of sand holds power & might.Infinity is present in each part,And a great ring of pure and endless lightDazzles the darkness in my heart.

  12. Madeleine L'Engle _ A Circle of Quiet

    An infinite question is often destroyed by finite answers. To define everything is to annihilate much that gives us laughter and joy.
