The Alchemist

by Paulo Coelho

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

“It’s this: 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.”

people are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.”

When you play cards the first time, you are almost sure to win. Beginner’s luck.”
