The Alchemist

I read The Alchemist a few years ago and it is by far one of my favorite books. I adore books with great quotes. Here are a few of my favorite:

"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. And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

"I learned that the world has a soul, and that whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of things. I learned that many alchemists realized their destinies, and wound up discovering the Soul of the World, the Philosopher’s Stone, and the Elixir of Life. But above all, I learned that these things are all so simple they could be written on the surface of an emerald.”

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
