More than a book to me. A Bible. A Gospel truth.

"I learned that the world has a soul, and that whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of things. I learned that many alchemists realized their destinies, and wound up discovering the Soul of the World, the Philosopher's stone, and the Elixir of Life. But above all, I learned that all these things are so simple they could be written on the surface of an Emerald."
(The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho)
