Alchemist quote

"It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary."

This quote is from The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, and it is one that I agree with the most. I think that the simple things in life are the ones that matter most, and are the ones that are the greatest. One example I have is when I laugh with friends or family. The sheer joy and pleasure I feel when I am with loved ones, is much more important than say, shaking the president's hand (which I did!). I mean, when I met the President, the feeling was amazing, and even though some might say it was an extraordinary event, I would always consider the times with family to be more extraordinary.
