Paulo Coelho - Quotes from The Alchemist





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 right now.

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.

Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive ... and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.


The boy was beginning to understand that intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there.
When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.


Never stop dreaming. Follow the omens.

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.


It's called the principle of favourability, beginner's luck. Because life wants you to achieve your destiny.


When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.


Dreams are the language of God.


The boy didn't know what a person's "destiny" was.
"It's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny... It's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. It prepares your spirit and you will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth."


Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World, and it will one day return there.
