The Alchemist

在細細佬的書架上看見這本書,便拿來看看,始終是經典作品,必有其吸引人之魔力。一開始讀便無法把書合上,直至深夜翻至最後一頁。

"It's a book that says that same thing almost all the other books in the world say," continued the old man. "It describes people's inability to choose their own Personal Legends. And it ends up saying that everyone believes the world's greatest lie."

"What's the world's greatest lie?" the boy asked, completely surprised.

"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. That's the world's greatest lie."

Coelho, Paulo. The Alchemist. Trans. Alan R. Clarke. International ed. New York: Harper Torch, 2002. Print. pp19-20.
