Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer."

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."

"When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises."

"Life doesn´t come with any guarantees. You have to risk it to get the biscuit."- The Alchemist, Paulo Cohelo -"

"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."

"to die tomorrow was no worse than dying on any other day. Every day was there to be lived or to mark one’s departure from this world."

"You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say."

"Isn't wine prohibited here?"the boy asked. "It's not what enters men's mouths that's evil,"said the alchemist. "It's what comes out of their mouths that is."

"If you start by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work towards getting it."

"To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation and when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

"there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth."

"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them."

"But when he thought to complain about the burden of its weight, he remembered that, because he had the jacket, he had withstood the cold of the dawn.We have to be prepared for change, he thought, and he was grateful for the jacket's weight and warmth.The jacket had a purpose, and so did the boy."

"Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth."

"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."

"There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning."

"Once someone asked me, "What do you want to be your epitaph?"So I said, "Paulo Coelho died when he was alive."

"You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say."

"Because I don't live in either my past or my future.I'm interested only in the present"."
