A summer book report of sorts.
This summer I read The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, over a weekend in Indiana visiting family. It's a fable about following a dream, and learning things from people along the way.
I have found this quote, more or less the theme of the fable, to be true throughout my life: "When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true". The flipside of this is that when you get close to it, the universe tests you on what you've learned before granting your wish.
I also like this, from the shepherd to the desert girl: " I love you because the whole universe conspired for me to come close to you."
