Quotable

I enjoy many of the guilty pleasures of life - mostly food, tabloid magazines, and fashion. But I also enjoy great books... more than those aforementioned. Yeah, I'll sneak some fashion and other goodies here and there on this blog, but I mostly want to service your inner, not outer, world (of course unless it's for our planet).

That's why I'm featuring Paulo Coelho's new book, Life. If you don't know, Coelho is the international critically acclaimed author of The Alchemist, a simple tale about following your dreams. It's one of the best books I've ever read.

I absolutely love quotes. There's something about a few words or lines that have the capability to make you think or want to change. So it was only natural that I was drawn to Life, a compilation of quotes taken from Coehlo's books. Here are a few that were included that were taken from The Alchemist:

- Every moment of searching is a moment of encounter.

- Your heart is where your treasure is, and you must find your treasure to make sense of everything.

- A blessing rejected becomes a curse.

- Only one thing makes a dream impossible: the fear of failure.

So if you're inspired, you may want to pick up a copy. And for all you Will Smith fans, here's a link to the episode of the Tavis Smiley show when he appeared last December and just so happened to mention The Alchemist. Enjoy :-)
