Alchemy

Quotes from The Alchemist


Every blessing ignored becomes a curse

We are afraid of losing what we have...
but this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.



Yes,
that's what love is. It's what makes the game become the falcon, the falcon become man, and man, in his turn, the desert. It's what turns lead into gold and makes the gold return to the earth.

This is why alchemy exists, "So that everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to be better than he was in his former life.

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

It's not love to be static or to see from a distance... Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
