The Alchemist

Half year ago, i read this story book.And found out some memorable quotes which i like:

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

"I am like everyone else-- I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen,not what actually does."

"I am afraid if my dream is realized, i have no reason to go on living.I am afraid it will be a disappointment, so I prefer just to dream about it."

"You must always know what it is that you want."

"LOVE never keeps a Man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandoned that pursuits, it's because it wasn't true love- the love that speaks the Language of the World."

"In persuing your dream, you are afraid of losing everything you've won."

"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,"the boy said."Tell your heart the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself."

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

"Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in additions in realizing our dreams, master the lessons we've learned as we move towards that dream.Tha's the point at which most people give up."

"The darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn."

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

"Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice surely will happen a third time."

"To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation."
