More quotes by Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"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."
"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."
"This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you."
"People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want."
"When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises."
