Quotes from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation

Every blessing ignored becomes a curse

When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it

When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision

People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want

I learned that the world has a soul, and that whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of things

Everyone has his or her own way of learning things, his way isn't the same as mine, nor mine as his. But we're both in search of our Personal Legends, and I respect him for that

Because 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

Eat when it's time to eat. And move along when it's time to move along

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, and even men can turn themselves into the wind

Where your treasure is, there also will be your heart
