Rubem Alves was a theologian, philosopher, psychoanalyst, professor, writer, and just plain old nice guy. His thoughts and ideas put so much of life in new perspective. He writes on life, death, sex, love, childhood, popcorn, music, art, literature, mythology, trees...and so much more. Pensamentos is a collection of brief excerpts from his many writings. Every page leaves the reader with a new idea, a new way of looking at the world.
