Pavi P's Key Ideas from The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho

People say strange things, the boy

thought. Sometimes it's better to be

with the sheep, who don't say anything.

And better still to be alone with one's

books. They tell their incredible stories at the time when you want to hear them. But when you're talking to

people, they say some things that are so

strange that you don't know how to

continue the conversation.
