Quote by Paulo Coelho

The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.

The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowher

Summary

This quote reflects on the inherent desire to express love and positivity from within oneself. However, it highlights the hindrance caused by experiencing pain and emotional obstacles. The metaphorical reference to the "light of love" being blocked suggests that despite being full of love, it remains unexpressed due to the presence of pain. The mention of inhaling and exhaling as a mundane routine further emphasizes the futility of hoping that time alone will heal emotional wounds. This quote prompts introspection on the need to address and overcome pain in order to freely share love with others.

My angel, cries Booth, it delights me to hear you talk thus, and for a reason you little guess; for I am assured that one who can so heroically endure adversity, will bear prosperity with equal greatness of soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former, is not likely to be transported with the latter.

Henry Fielding, Amelia

The wilderness is near as well as dear to every man. Even the oldest villages are indebted to the border of wild wood which surrounds them, more than to the gardens of men. There is something indescribably inspiriting and beautiful in the aspect of the forest skirting and occasionally jutting into the midst of new towns, which, like the sand-heaps of fresh fox-burrows, have sprung up in their midst. The very uprightness of the pines and maples asserts the ancient rectitude and vigor of nature. Our lives need the relief of such a background, where the pine flourishes and the jay still screams.
