More quotes by Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"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."
"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."
"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."
