Paulo Coelho | Il Gioco degli Dei... / The Game of the Gods

Gli Dei lanciano i dadi, ma non domandano se vogliamo partecipare al gioco.

Non vogliono sapere se hai lasciato un uomo, una casa, un lavoro, una carriera, un sogno.

Gli dei non badano al fatto che tu vuoi avere una vita in cui ogni cosa sia al proprio posto,

in cui ogni desiderio si possa esaudire con il lavoro e la pertinacia.
