The Alchemist

by Paulo Coelho

there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It’s your mission on earth.”

Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity.”

“Every second of the search is an encounter with God,”

all people who are happy have God within them.

when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”
