Bottom: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Top; The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

"Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits them."

 

-The Alchemist, page 132, Paulo Coelho

 

"I'll go back to my rented room in the convent. I'll try to read a book, turn on the TV to see the same old programs, set the alarm clock to wake up at exactly the same time I woke up the day before, and mechanically repeat my tasks at the library..."

 

-Veronika Decides to Die, page 21, Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.

Paulo Coelho's dedication page for The Devil and Miss Prym.

Ha valaki mindig is pöttyös bögrét akart, erre vágyott, de nincsen a közelben egy bögre sem, az ember hajlamos inni a kristálypohárból is. Azután, ahogy telik az idő, egyre jobban zavarja, hogy kristálypohárból kell innia, így elkezdi rávenni a kristálypoharat, hogy legyen már bögre. Ha valaki bögrét szeretne, igyon abból, s hagyja, hogy más boldog legyen a kristálypohárral. Ez a bögrék szabálya.

 

* If someone ever wanted a dotty cup, wanted it, but there isn't any cup, the person have to drink from a crystal glass. Then, how the time goes on, it disturbs him better and better, that he have to drink from a crystal glass, and starting to induce the glass to be a cup. If someone wants a cup, drink from it, and allow people to be happy with the glass. It's the rule of the cups.
