Once in a lifetime a book comes along that you just love. A book that you can’t stop talking about and one that you have to reread over and over again. A book that you have to tell everyone to read because it is that good. However, it’s not a book to be borrowed to friends because it’s that precious to you and you fear it will be lost.
For me, and many others, 'The Alchemist' is that book. It is filled with so many amazing inspirational quotes and I am going to share my favourite of them with you.
“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“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.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“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.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“There is only one way to learn. It’s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”
― Paulo Coelho The Alchemist
“There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.”
― Paulo Coelho The Alchemist
“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure”
– Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“That at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That´s the world’s greatest lie.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“I’m like everyone else – I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“Eat when it’s time to eat. And move along when it’s time to move along.”
― Paulo Coelho The Alchemist
“Why should I listen to my heart?” “Because you will never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you’re thinking about life and about the world.”
― Paulo Coelho The Alchemist
“You must always know what it is that you want.”
― Paulo Coelho The Alchemist
“The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children.”
― Paulo Coelho The Alchemist
“Sometimes, it’s better to leave things as they are.”
― Paulo Coelho The Alchemist
