The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream

by Paulo Coelho

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting,

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

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

“When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream,”

“Isn’t wine prohibited here?” the boy asked. “It’s not what enters men’s mouths that’s evil,” said the alchemist. “It’s what comes out of their mouths that is.”

“That’s what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”
