The Alchemist

Wonderful Lines from the Alchemist: Lines that left an impact on me, either in terms of their implied meanings or my personal experiences in a similar context jotted in the order that they appear in the book…

It is the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his/her own.

At certain point in our lives, we loose control of what is happening to us and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie.

We have to live our mistakes.

Not everyone can see his/her dreams come true in the same way.

There is a language in the world that everyone understands. It is the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of something believed in and desired.

When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you.

Making a decision is only the beginning of things, when someone really 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.

Everyone has his or her own way of learning things.

Life is a moment we’re living right now.

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. Each day in itself is an eternity.

It is not what enters men’s mouth that’s evil. It is what comes out of their mouth that is.

Don’t think about what you’ve left behind. If what finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.
