Fragmentos de "El Zahir" de Paulo Coehlo

Libertad no es la ausencia de compromisos, sino la capacidad de escoger -y comprometerme- con lo que es mejor para mí.

La mayoría de los escritores está más preocupada por el estilo que por el contenido, intentan ser originales pero todo lo que consiguen es ser aburridos.

Forma parte de un gran artista ser incomprendido en su tiempo.

always in the mood

decided to be alone
arranging meetings with the same old things
planning my next journey
while the others are hanging out still

picked up from the floor
clothes and tears thrown all around
wall wall why are you staring at me like that

seems to be a great day to start it over again
future is right straight ahead

walking through the same old streets
passing through the same good thoughts
sneering of the usual troubles
always in the mood for bad bad jokes

I carry on, have a business
laziness is the worst religion I´ve ever seen
my baggage´s full of wings
but today I need a few feet to land

seems a wonderful night came over again
future is just away my door

//get up from bed
let´s go out for a walk and write
breathe a common air
be my muse today
let the cars collide
the heart is insured for now
let´s gonna drink some humor sense
be my guest tonight//

gonna get up from my bed
today´s news say that all went well

walking through the same old streets
passing through the same good thoughts
sneering of the usual troubles
always in the mood for bad bad jokes

seems a wonderful night came over again
gonna lay down on the floor
I wasn´t inspired, wrote anyway
future is just away my door

Una pequeña diferencia

Hay gente mediocre que prioriza la agilidad sobre la calidad. Hay gente inteligente que se toma un segundo más para hacer algo excelente.
