The illustrations of Anne Kristin Hagesaether are fairy-like compositions which unravel the warm and mild soul of an artist-child. The intense chromatic mix is most impressive. Some images seem to be unfinished rhapsody, based on the obvious touch line, but this is counter-balanced by painstaking insertions. The effect is a magical world, which has a peculiar dynamism that incorporates the viewer. I seem to be attracted more by the cold pictures.

Saya mencari buku ini dengan penuh perjuangan. Sampai lutut saya bonyok karena terjatuh, buku ini habis di mana-mana. Akhirnya, saya justru menemukannya di toko buku (waktu pertama saya cari tidak ada) yang sebenarnya terdekat dari rumah.
Sebenarnya buku ini adalah kumpulan quote salah satu pengarang favorit saya, Paulo Coelho. Kutipan-kutipan yang diambil sebagian besar adalah kalimat-kalimat yang juga saya garis bawahi dalam buku-bukunya. Sekarang, lebih mudah, kan, membawa kalimat-...more

Not really a book to sit and read in one go...more reference, a memory jogger for all multitude of life enriching quotes that are peppered through all of Paulo's books.
Split into 8 inspiring sections that are easy to simply "dip into" it also reminds the user of the literary source; personally I find this makes me want to go and immediately re-read the books.

Angkat jempol untuk Paulo Coelho!
Membaca LIFE seperti menyelam ke pemikiran Paulo dan berselancar di antara ombak kata-katanya, yang dihasilkan oleh ramuan badai, langit biru, kabut malam dan nyanyian angin. Bukan sesuatu yang dapat diolah sesederhana membuat kue. Aku jadi berpikir, apakah Paulo seorang filsuf? Kalau bukan, kenapa?

My husband bought me this for Christmas when I went through my Paulo Coelho stage. It is a beautiful book with lovely quotes that sit on your heart and rustle your soul. The only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is because there were a few quotes from books of his that i would have liked to be in this one.
i bought this book in the airport when i'm on my way to palembang. i never read any of coelho's book before. at first, i bought it for my wife, she's the one who had read coelho's. but after i read it (before my wife, ha!), i think i like it and may be i'll read his other work.
I LOVE Paulo Coelho and find myself wanting to highlight his books while I am reading them. This book is quotes from many of his books. I love to open it and read one and it starts my brain!
Coelho's quotes dari berbagai bukunya terangkum dalam buku ini, jadi tidak perlu repot-repot mencari lagi dalam buku terkait. Tidak pernah ada comment lain untuk buku Coelho selain "bagus banget".
Really nice quotes. Specially if you already know where the quotes come from, and if it really touches your life. I give this book as a gift to my best friend Atticus.
this book was the easiest way to get coelho's quote without having to skim through his books... iow, cheat cheat cheat ^___^
An inspirational quote book by one of the world's greatest sages and writers. The chosen quotes from his books and speeches can be enjoyed many times over.
Great Book.
Some quotes such as page 74 can and will make some life
changing decisions in a moment.

I saw this in the new book section of the public library, and I decided I had to take check it out. This small volume is a collection of quotes from Coehlo's various writings. The book is organized by themes. It is a quick read, but it is one that invites reflection and thought. I usually read Coehlo in Spanish, so I will try to see if this book is made available in Spanish to buy it for myself. I think fans will definitely enjoy it. People who have not read his works might this a nice introduct...more
The front cover explains a lot about the wonderous of this book, and so does the back cover that include a nice quotation from eleven minutes:
"Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?"

This is one of the kind, you all need to get this for life rating.
Glad I read it in Spanish. Great inspirational quotes.
I love this book!!
The quotes are great and very inspirational,
they are all from Paulo Coelho's writings.
For those who haven't read his works and want to read them but confused to choose which book to start with, I suggest that you read this first.
This book is like an abstraction of (almost) all his writings
Then I think you can start reading the book which quotes you like best..

i'm big on quotes and paulo coelho has some of the best, most insightful and touching ones i have ever read. this book in its small frame, delivers big messages of moving quotes from different books written by coelho. <3
If you love his books, this one is simply a collection of quotes from his work. I found myself flipping it open and just reading a quote or two when I needed that inspirational kick up the backside.
Beautiful quotations from his other books, which I have not read. I'm going to start move The Alchemist to the top of my stack now that I've read this little collection. Lovely. Inspiration.
Yup. Just like meals, must read everyday-everyday-everyday.
I found the book very inspiring and makes me wants to read all of the books that Paulo Coelho had quoted for this book.
Really recommend his book to everyone
