Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place.
Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.
My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer, the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky. Tell your heart that the fear of suffering s worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with Eternity.
Even when our eyes are closed, there's a whole world that exists outside ourselves and our dreams.
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." -- The Alchemist

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.

Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead will have to turn itself into gold. That's what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too."
When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.

Become an alchemist. Transmute base metal into gold, suffering into consciousness, disaster into enlightenment.
The world has a soul and whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of many things.
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. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.
The alchemists in their search for gold discovered many other things of greater value.
