Quote from Paulo Coelho's Manuscript Found in Accra

(on pages 32 &33)

"For those who feel oppressed by solitude, 

it's important to remember that in life's

 most significant moments we are always alone. 

Take the child emerging from a woman's womb: 

it doesn't matter how many people are present; 

the final decision to live rests with the child.  

Take the artist and his work: 

in order for his work to be really good, 

he needs to be still and hear only the language of the angels.

Take all of us, when we find ourselves face-to-face  with that

Unwanted Visitor, Death:

we will all be alone at that most important and 

most feared moment of our existence.

Just as Love is the divine condition,

so solitude is the human condition.

And for those who understand the miracle of life, 

those two states peacefully coexist."
