I can't say anything about this book, except that even 5 stars aren't sufficient for such a book!

favorite quotes:
"Your eyes show the strength of your soul".

"No project is completed until its objective has been achieved".

"The darkest hour of the night come just before the dawn".

"The natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise, the existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that's perfect"

Één van de meest cliché boeken die ik ooit las, maar zo mooi verpakt dat je dat zo vergeet. Een aanrader voor zei die hun droom nog moeten waarmaken en zei die het enkel bij het dromen houden.
