ALCHEMIST, PAULO COELHO
-----Beginning of the citation-----
"Why are you called the alchemist?"
"Because that's what I am."
"And what went wrong when other alchemists tried to make gold and were unable to do so?"
"They were looking only for gold," his companion answered.
"They were seeking the treasure of their Personal Legend, without wanting actually to live out the Personal Legend."
----- The end of the citation -----
Can we replace "live out" with something more common?
maybe a rephrase?
"They were seeking the treasure of their Personal Legend, without actually wanting to live the Personal Legend."
but then one should also consider the time of the writing and how things were said/written at that point in time...
i was helping a friend writing a book... i was proofreading and sending back corrections... the problem was that i was correcting a lot of colloquialisms that they had specifically put in to bring those speaking habits more to life and make the characters more realistic for the area in which they lived...
