Philosophy or Wisdom? Whatever it is, I like!

I finished reading Brida by Paulo Coelho just now, and the ending was so great that I decided to copy down some quotes from it here since I'll have to return the book to my classmate who lent it to me a few days back.
Coelho is described as a 'mystical writer' and you may get tempted to dismiss some of his stuff as farfetched philosophy, but i'm a great fan, and think it's very profound writing, holding a lot of meaning.
The entire book is really thought-provoking, but these few lines near the end truly touched me like no other written lines ever have:

‘No one can possess a sunset. Just like no one can possess an afternoon of rain beating against the window or the serenity of a sleeping child or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can possess the beautiful things of this earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.’

‘It seems to me like I’ve always known you because I can’t remember the world before that.’

‘People give flowers as presents because flowers contain the true meaning of love. Anyone who tries to possess a flower will have to watch its beauty fading. But if you simply look at a flower in a field, you will keep it forever, because the flower is part of the evening and the sunset and the smell of damp earth and the clouds on the horizon.’

‘You will never be mine and that is why I will never lose you. You were my hope during my days of loneliness, my anxiety during moments of doubt, my certainty during moments of faith’

‘I will always remember you and you will always remember me just as we will remember the evening, the rain on the windows and all the things we’ll always have because we cannot possess them.’

Don't you think it's simply beautiful, the way he's conveyed the true meaning of love? I definitely do. In short: 'love is liberty.' So go on, set the one you love free, holding on tight isn't love, it's posession.
