The Winner Stands Alone

The Winner Stands Alone: A Novel | Paulo Coelho

A heart wrenching tale of how success and commitment to luxury distort our ideals to the point of relinquishing the ones we love and care for most.

"If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free."

" Success is both an addiction and an enslavement...." ( This is the best line I've read in months.)

There are plenty more lines from this book that I wish to put here, sadly I don't have enough characters left. ?.

so-so

This is sooo Paulo Coelho. š‚ It was nice to read him again. The last time was years and years ago. I feel like back then I got somehow more inside his stories. I remember loving The Devil and miss Prym and Veronika decides to die. This was ok but I still think those two as my favourites.

Megabooks I haven‘t seen a frog in years. #poorenvirinment #climatechangesucks 5y

Martta @Megabooks I think frogs need very clean water around where they live. Atleast I remember somebody telling me when I was a child that if a pond has frogs in/around it then the water is relatively clean. š¤” 5y

Megabooks I learned something similar to what you learned, and the surface water in my county has a lot of pesticides and animal waste from farming. I also learned that amphibians are the first markers of climate change in an area, and I haven‘t regularly seen frogs in 20 years. š© 5y
