I’ve known of Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist for a while, but there were always other books vying for my attention. Finally, I decided to pick it up, and I’m so glad I did! I found many of the quotes to be incredibly resonant, and I’d love to share some of them with you. • "And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
• "It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
• "When we love, we always strive to become better than we are."
• "Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure."
• "The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
• But it is not the end of the world."The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them."
• "Every blessing ignored becomes a curse."
• "I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m only interested in living the present moment."
• "When you’re close to your dream, you begin to see things that you’ve never seen before."
• "The world is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived."
everyone, regardless of their social status, has a unique story to tell and that all of these stories contribute to the fabric of the world.
