More quotes by Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."
"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
"Every blessing ignored becomes a curse."
"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."
"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
