My Favourite Quotes From The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

So, I read this book early this year and thought, this had to be one of the best books I've read so far. One of the things that renders the book so fascinating is the way the author makes use of biblical archetypal characters. Unlike other works of fiction, the characters are relatable. You feel like, "oh, I know this person!" And that alone makes the book such an amazing read.


The book is replete with so much wisdom that one could almost think it was written by the gods. Well, enough of the accolades. I think I should show you my bests quotes from the book and I believe you won't agree less.


"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dreams"

" Whoever has money is never really alone."

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

" It is not what enters men's mouths that's evil, Its what comes out of their mouth that is."

"Life attracts life."

"You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't true love, the love that speaks the Language of the world."

"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."

"You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say, that way, you'll never have to fear an unanticipated blow."

"People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them."

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is 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 eternity."

"Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him."

"Most people see the world as a threatening place, and because they do, the world turns out, indeed to be a threatening place."

"When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed."

"Your eyes shows the strength of your soul."


"There's only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve, the fear of failure."

" The threat of death makes people, a lot more aware of their lives. "
