Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

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

"It's true; life really is generous to those who pursue their Personal Legend."

"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."

"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."
