THE PROPHET

THE PROPHET

AUTHOR: KAHLIL GIBRAN

In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya 

The Alchemist

The Alchemist by Paulo Coeloho is a book that urges you to follow your dreams.

We all have dreams and we are here to achieve our dreams and our personal legend. 

We should add ourselves into the soul of the world and its purity and live our dreams. 

Quotes;

"simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciates them."

"when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes    true."

"When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to      understand what's happening, because everything happens within you. "

"What's the world's greatest lie? It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's   happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate"

"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
