* The fifth obligation of every Muslim is a pilgrimage.

 

* Some of them were rich pilgrims, traveling in caravans with servants and camels, but most of the people making the pilgrimage were poorer than I.

 

* One of them, a cobbler who made his living mending boots, said that he had traveled for almost a year throught the desert, but that he got more tired when he had to walk through the streets of Tangier buying his leather.

 

* That's what helps me face these days that are all the same, these mute crystals on the shelves, and lunch and dinner at that same horrible cafe.

 

* Anyway, the boy had become happy in his work, and thought all the time about the boy when he would disembark at Tarifa as a winner.

 

* Maybe it was his treasure to have wound up in that strange land, met up with a thief, and doubled the size of his flock without spending a cent.

 

* One afternoon he had seen a man at the top of the hill, complaining that it was impossible to find a decent place to get something to think after such a climb.
