The Zahir - Paulo Coelho





Unusual, unconventional and incredible, The Zahir is about finding love and keeping it aflame within and outside any relationship. A must read for polyamorous couples who are in search of absolute love at any cost.  As usual the novel is sandwiched with loads of chewable quotes:

  • Stability is inseparable from a deep sense of tedium.
  • What is fidelity? The feeling that I possess a body and soul that aren't mine.
  • Its not life that matters, but the journey.
  • Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
  • Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.
  • When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive - I'll find love again.
