The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho



Just finished reading the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I would say this book was inspirational to the core! No words can express the wonder i had while reading it. Some parts of the book seemed like it was written for me... yea.. just for me. Its like as if the book was talking to me. It was too deep for me to understand everything. But i got the fundamental idea. Wish someone would explain everything that it was trying to say.
Through out the book, it was filled with exceptionally catchy and meaningful quotes.

The main character of the book is a boy called Santiago. Its about his life and how he fulfills his dreams.

Some of my favourite quotes:
  • - "The only things that concerned the sheep were food and water". This line kept on repeating at least 4 or 5 times in the book. Its trying to say a lot in it...and i think i understand it too... =)

  • "its the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting"


  • i couldnt resist this even though its not much of a quote...
"When someone sees the same people everyday, ... they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isnt what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives but none about his or her own".


I think i can just go on like this.... So better stop for now.

Maybe i should........ should i?.... a lot of ppl have told me "dont stop dreaming". And i've tried not to..... Or Did i really try not to.....??
