More quotes by Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

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