---Selected quotations of Paulo Coelho

I first read The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho about 10 years ago. I enjoyed it, for the most part, but I think you need to read Paulo Coelho with discernment (kind of like listening to Oprah). He writes with passion and depth, and sometimes you find a gem. There are also some jagged rocks about the universe conspiring to help you find your destiny, and stuff that set off my 'caution' radar. There are several of each in this book of quotations. These aren't words to bet the farm on, but they do prompt thought, and the journal-style artwork is good, and for that, I enjoyed this.
