Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people shou... - Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Every blessing ignored becomes a curse."

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