Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."

"So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you."

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

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

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

"Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure."

"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."

"I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now."

"But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here."

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."

"Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey."

"No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know 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."

"Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart."

"When you want something, he entire universe conspires to help you achieve it."

"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."

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

"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."

"Every blessing ignored becomes a curse."

"When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."
