“People like to say love is unconditional, but it's not, and even if it was unconditional, it's still never free. There's always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won't be happy unless you are ... I just don't want that responsibility.”

Ester asked why people are sad.
"That’s simple," says the old man. "They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir |

“Bagi saya, berdosa bukanlah inti rasa tragis. Intinya adalah kesadaran tentang 'tepi'. Tepi bukanlah batas. Tepi mengandung sesuatu yang sepi, juga menunjukkan keadaan yang genting sebab siapa pun akan sendirian ketika ada pelbagai sisi yang dihadapi, ketika seorang tak berada di satu pusat yang mantap. Bukan saja karena terang dan gelap ada dimana mana, tapi juga karena kedua duanya mengandung bahaya”
