If a person really wants something, then the whole Universe will help to ensure that his desire comes true.

True love does not require reciprocity, and those who want to receive a reward for their love are wasting their time.

I am afraid that when the dream becomes a reality, I will no longer have any reason to live in the world.

The sages have long understood that our world is created in the image and likeness of paradise. The very existence of this world is a guarantee that there is another, more perfect one.

Every day is good to be lived or to be the last.

If I am part of your Destiny, someday you will return to me.

When one day is like another, people stop noticing the good things that happen in their lives every day after sunrise.

And the shepherd, and the sailor, and the wandering merchants always have one cherished city, where she lives, for the sake of which they are ready to sacrifice the joyful opportunity to roam freely around the world.

There is no need to be afraid of the unknown, because everyone is able to find what he wants, to get what he needs.

What nonsense people sometimes carry. Indeed, it is better to communicate with dumb sheep, who would only eat and drink. Or read books - they tell incredible stories and exactly when you want to hear them. But it’s worse with people: they blurt out something, and you sit as if spat on, not knowing what to say in response.

Remember: you always need to know exactly what you want.

The wind changes the shape of the sand dunes, but the desert remains the same.

I am so sad and unhappy. And I don't know what to do. I will become angry and distrustful and will suspect everyone just because one person deceived me. I will hate those who managed to find the treasure, because I did not succeed. I will cling to the littleness that I have, because I am too small and insignificant to comprehend the whole world.

Life is generous to those who follow their destiny.

For some reason, no one can manage their own life. It's kind of like an old gypsy woman who knows how to interpret dreams, but she can't make them come true.

You have to choose between what you are used to and what you are drawn to.

We are all afraid to fulfill our most cherished dreams, because it seems to us that we are not worthy of them or that we will not be able to realize them anyway.

There is only one way of comprehension, - answered the Alchemist. - Act.

Love cannot prevent a person from following His Destiny. If this happens, it means that love was not true, not the one that speaks the Common Language.

The main thing is not to be afraid that nothing will come of it.

Money cannot delay death even for a moment….

Dreams are the language in which the Lord speaks to them.

There is one great truth on this planet: no matter who you are and what you do, when you truly desire something, you will achieve it, because such a desire originated in the soul of the universe. And that is your purpose on earth.

Everything in the world would be perfect and harmonious if the hand that wrote it stopped on the fifth day of creation. But there was also a sixth.

If you develop one thing, then everything that is around changes.

Life is interesting because in it dreams can come true.

Perhaps God created the desert so that man would smile at the trees.

We never realize what treasures are before us. Do you know why? Because people don't believe in treasures at all.

He who interferes in someone else's Fate will never pass his own.

People dream more about returning than about leaving.

Don't worry about the future, live in the present.

Santiago suddenly realized that he could look at the world as a poor victim of a crook, or maybe as a brave man who went in search of adventure and treasure. There was always a choice.

Every person on earth, no matter what he does, plays leading role in the history of the world. And usually they don't even know about it.

Only one thing makes the fulfillment of a dream impossible - it is the fear of failure.

When a person has extracted his dream from the bottom of his soul and fed it for many years with the power of his love, not noticing the scars and scars left on his heart after a hard struggle for its realization, he suddenly begins to notice that what he has been wishing for so long is already very close. and is about to come true - perhaps tomorrow; it is at this stage that the last obstacle awaits him: the fear of fulfilling the dream of his whole life.

Everything that is on earth is constantly changing, because the earth itself is alive and also has a soul. We are all part of this Soul, but we ourselves do not know that it works for our benefit.

If God's blessing is not accepted, it turns into a curse.

What happened once may never happen again. But what happened twice will certainly happen a third time.

They love because they love. Love does not recognize arguments.

A person always has everything to fulfill his dream.

Paulo Coelho masterfully manages to write capacious and beautiful phrases. This is especially true of his, of course, best book"Alchemist".

Here are a few quotes from this book, in which you can find practical life meaning.

1. Secret of life

It is in him, in the present, that the whole secret is. If you give it the attention it deserves, you can improve it. And if you improve your present position, you will make the future favorable as well. Do not worry about the future, live in the present, and let your every day pass as commanded by the Law. Believe that the Almighty takes care of his children. Every day carries a particle of eternity.

2. The biggest lie in the world

It sounds like this: at some point in our existence, we lose control over our lives, and fate begins to control it. There is nothing more deceitful.

3. The language of the world

There is a language in the world that everyone understands. This is the language of inspiration, the language of things done with love and desire, in the name of what you believe in or what you desire.

4. What happens when we die

All this time they are with us: they are clouds that do not give rain, animals hiding between stones, water that, as a mercy, the earth spits out. Little by little they become a part of all this and flow into the Soul of the World.

5. The only way to learn

There is only one way of comprehension - to act. Travel has taught you everything you need to know.

6. Relation to others

We should never judge the lives of others, because only the person himself knows his pain and his losses.

The more unusual a thing, the simpler it looks, and only a wise man can understand its meaning.

8. The power of desire

If you want something, the whole Universe will contribute to making your desire come true.

Children can teach adults three things: to be happy for no reason, to be always busy, and to know how to demand with all your being what you want.

10. The only way to understand the miracle of life

We must take risks. We only understand the miracle of life when we allow the unexpected to happen.

Paulo Coelho quotes from The Alchemist

When a person has extracted his dream from the bottom of his soul and fed it for many years with the power of his love, not noticing the scars and scars left on his heart after a hard struggle for its realization, he suddenly begins to notice that what he has been wishing for so long is already very close. and is about to come true - perhaps tomorrow; it is at this stage that the last obstacle awaits him: the fear of fulfilling the dream of his whole life.

When you love, you can neither stand still like the desert, nor rush around the world like the wind, nor look at everything from afar, like the sun. Love is the power that transforms and improves the Soul. When I penetrated it for the first time, it seemed perfect to me. But then I saw that she was a reflection of all of us, that her passions, her wars, were seething in her too. It is we who feed it, and the land on which we live will become better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. This is where the power of love intervenes, because when you love, you strive to become better.

If I am part of your Destiny, someday you will return to me.

The myth of a beautiful young man who spent days admiring his reflection in a stream. Narcissus stared so hard that he fell into the water and drowned. When Narcissus died, the nymphs of the forest noticed that the fresh water in the stream had become salty. - What are you crying about? - asked the nymphs. “I mourn Narcissus,” answered the brook. “No wonder,” said the nymphs. “After all, we also ran after him when he passed through the forest, and you are the only one who saw his beauty up close. - Was he handsome? asked the stream. Who can judge this better than you? Was it not on your shore, leaning over your waters, that he spent his days from dawn to night? The stream was silent for a long time and finally answered: - I cry for Narcissus, although I never knew that he was beautiful. I cry because whenever he came to my shore and bent over my waters, my beauty was reflected in the depths of his eyes.

And when the paths of these two converge, when their eyes meet, both the past and the future lose all meaning, and there is only this one minute and the incredible confidence that everything in the world was written by the same hand. This hand awakens love in the soul and searches for a twin soul for anyone who works, rests or looks for treasures. Otherwise, the dreams with which we overwhelm the human race would not have the slightest meaning.

Everything that is on earth is constantly changing, because the earth itself is alive and also has a soul. We are all part of this Soul, but we ourselves do not know that it works for our benefit.

We are all afraid of losing what we have, whether it is our crops or life itself. But this fear passes, one has only to understand that both our history and the history of the world are written by the same hand.

If God's blessing is not accepted, it turns into a curse. I don’t want anything more from life, and you make me discover unknown distances in it. I look at them, realize my unheard-of possibilities and feel worse than before. For now I know that I can have everything, and I do not need it.

Only one thing makes the fulfillment of a dream impossible - it is the fear of failure.

When the same people are around you - ... - then it seems to happen by itself that they enter your life. And having entered your life, after a while they want to change it. And if you do not become the way they want to see you, they are offended. After all, everyone knows exactly how to live in the world. For some reason, no one can manage their own life.

When you love, you can become anyone. When you love, you absolutely do not need to understand what is happening, because everything happens inside us, so that a person is quite capable of turning into the wind.

Life wants you to follow your destiny and whets your appetite with the taste of good luck.

Perhaps God created the desert so that man would smile at the trees.

If you want something, the whole Universe will contribute to making your desire come true.

There is one great truth on this planet: no matter who you are and what you do, when you truly desire something, you will achieve it, because such a desire originated in the soul of the universe. And that is your purpose on earth.

If what you find is made of good material, no damage will touch it. And you can safely return. If it was only a momentary flash, like the birth of a star, then when you return you will not find anything. But you saw a blinding light. So it was worth it anyway.

What happened once may never happen again. But what happened twice will certainly happen a third time.

I love you because...
- You don't have to say anything. They love because they love. Love does not recognize arguments.

Life is interesting because in it dreams can come true.

The secret of happiness is to see everything that is wonderful and glorious in the world, and never forget about two tablespoons of oil in a teaspoon.

We never realize what treasures are before us. Do you know why? Because people don't believe in treasures at all.

I am exactly the same as everyone else; I take wishful thinking and see the world not as it really is, but as I want to see it.

Betrayal is a blow you don't expect.

Everyone living on Earth is waiting for his treasure, - said the heart, - but we, the hearts, are used to keeping quiet, because people do not want to acquire them. We only talk about this to children, and then we watch how life guides everyone towards their Destiny. But, unfortunately, only a few follow the Path destined for them. For others, the world inspires fear and therefore becomes dangerous indeed. And then we, hearts, speak more and more quietly. We never shut up, but we try to make sure that our words are not heard: we do not want people to suffer because they did not heed the voice of the heart.

Paulo Coelho. Alchemist

-When you really want something, the whole Universe will contribute to making your wish come true.

When the same people are around you, it somehow turns out by itself that they enter your life. And having entered your life, after a while they want to change it. And if you do not become the way they want to see you, they are offended.

After all, everyone knows exactly how to live in the world. But for some reason, no one can fix their own life ...

-Life is generous to those who follow their destiny.

You have to choose between what you are used to and what you are drawn to.

We are all afraid to fulfill our most cherished dreams, because it seems to us that we are not worthy of them or that we will not be able to realize them anyway.

- There is only one way of comprehension, - answered the Alchemist. - Act.

- The main thing is not to be afraid that nothing will come of it.

- I'm afraid that when the dream becomes a reality, I will no longer have any reason to live in the world.

There is one great truth on this planet: no matter who you are and what you do, when you truly desire something, you will achieve it, because such a desire originated in the soul of the universe. And that is your purpose on earth.

Life is always waiting for that hour when the future depends only on your decisive actions.

Human souls, like rivers and plants, also need rain. A special rain - hope, faith and the meaning of life. If there is no rain, everything in the soul dies, although the body is still alive. People can say, “A man once lived in this body.”

-Money and for a moment cannot delay death.

-If you develop one thing, then everything that is around changes too

When one day is like another, people stop noticing the good things that happen in their lives every day after sunrise.

-We accept this or that truth only after we first reject it with all our soul.

- The look shows the strength of the soul

- A person always has everything to fulfill his dream.

-Perhaps God created the desert so that man would smile at the trees.

When you love, everything makes more sense.

-Fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself

When you love, you can become anyone. When you love, you absolutely do not need to understand what is happening, because everything happens inside us, so that a person is quite capable of turning into the wind. Of course, if the wind helps him.

-Life is interesting because dreams can come true in it.

If what you found is made of good material, no damage will touch it. And you can safely return. If it was only a momentary flash, like the birth of a star, then when you return, you will not find anything. But you saw a blinding light. So it was worth it anyway.

-Life wants you to follow your Destiny and whets your appetite with the taste of good luck.

- We never understand what treasures are before us.

All people, while still young, know their Destiny. And in this period of life, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream and strive for everything that they would like to do. But over time, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it is impossible to achieve the embodiment of their Destiny.

- To achieve the realization of one's destiny is the only true duty of a person.

- He who interferes in someone else's Fate will never pass his own.

-People dream more about returning than about leaving

It is in him, in the present, that the whole secret is. If you give it due attention, you can improve it. And to improve your current state is to make the future favorable as well. Don't worry about the future, live in the present.

What happened once may never happen again. But what happened twice will certainly happen a third time.

-Evil is not in what enters a person's mouth, but in what comes out of them.

The more unusual something is, the simpler it looks, and only the wise can understand its meaning.

Quotes by Paulo Coelho

There are no tragedies, there are only lessons

There is no tragedy, only the inevitable. Everything in life has its own meaning, you just need to learn to distinguish between what is transient and what is eternal. - What is transient? ...- Inevitable.- And what is eternal?- Lessons of the inevitable.

Do the opposite sometimes

Sometimes you have to run to see who runs after you. Sometimes you have to speak softer to see who is really listening to you. Sometimes you have to take a step back to see who else is on your side. Sometimes you have to make the wrong decisions to see who's with you when things fall apart. Sometimes you have to let go of someone you love just to see if you are loved enough to come back!

saving love

Love is always new. It doesn't matter how many times in your life you meet love - one, two or three. Every time we find ourselves in front of the unknown and unknown. Love can take us to heaven, it can cast us down to hell, but it will not leave us in the same place. Love cannot be rejected, for it is the food of our being. If we refuse it, we will die of hunger, looking at the branches of the tree of life burdened with fruits and not daring to pick these fruits, although here they are - just stretch out your hand. You have to look for love wherever you are, even if this search means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness. The thing is that when we go in search of love, love moves towards us. And saves us.

Approach to life

I DO NOT KNOCK at closed door! In response, I silently CLOSE mine ... I DO NOT IMPOSE! The world is huge - and there certainly is someone who is happy receiving exactly my communication, my look and my smile ... I AM NOT JEAL! if the person is yours, then he is yours, and if he is drawn to somewhere else, then nothing will hold him back, and even more so, he is not worth my nerves ... nor attention ...

Love is like a drug

Love is a drug. At first, there is euphoria, lightness, a feeling of complete dissolution. You want more the next day. You have not had time to get involved yet, but although you like the sensations, you are sure that you can do without them at any moment. You think about your favorite being for two minutes and forget about it for three hours. But gradually you get used to it and get completely dependent on it. And then you think about it for three hours and forget for two minutes. If he is not around, you feel the same as a drug addict deprived of another portion of the potion. And at such moments, like a drug addict who, for the sake of a dose, is able to go to robbery, murder and any humiliation, you are ready for anything for the sake of love ...

In the face of death

A mortally wounded soldier will never say to a doctor: "Save me!" Usually it last words: "Tell your wife and son that I love them." In such a desperate moment, they talk about love!

Love makes us better

Why, when you love, you can neither stand still like the desert, nor rush around the world like the wind, nor look at everything from afar, like you. Love is a force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World. when I penetrated it for the first time, it seemed perfect to me. but then I saw that she was a reflection of all of us, that her passions were seething in her, their wars were going on. It is we who feed it, and the earth we live on will become better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. This is where the power of love intervenes, because when you love, you strive to become better.

Short dialogues from books by Paulo Coelho

Worry about yourself

An evil man, having died, met an angel at the gates of Hell. The angel said to him:
- It was enough for you to do one good deed in your life, and it will help you. Think well.

The man remembered that once, when he was walking through the forest, he saw a spider on his way and went around it so as not to crush it.

The angel smiled, and a web descended from the sky, allowing a person to ascend to Paradise. Other condemned to Hell, standing close to the web, also began to climb it. But the man saw this and began to throw them off in fear that the web would break. At that moment, it really broke off, and the person returned to Hell again.

What a pity, said the angel. “Your self-concern turned the only good thing you ever did into evil.

Who is the other?

One man met an old friend who was trying to adjust to life this way and that, but to no avail. "I should give him some money," he thought. And it so happened that on the same evening he found out that his friend had become rich and had paid off all his debts over many years.

They went to a bar where they liked to visit, and his friend paid for everyone. When asked what was the reason for such success, he replied that until very recently he lived as an Other.
- What is "Other"? they asked him.
- The other is who I was taught to be, but who I am not. Another is convinced that a person must think all his life about how to save money so that he does not die of hunger in his old age. And he thinks about it so much, and makes such grandiose plans, that he discovers that he is alive only when there are very few of his days on earth. He catches on, but it's too late.
- Well, who are you?
- And I am the same as any of us, if only he listens to the voice of his heart. A man fascinated by the mystery of life, a man open to a miracle, a man who is pleased and inspired by everything that he does not do. The trouble is that the Other, always tormented by the fear of disappointment, did not allow me to do so.
- But after all there are also sufferings, - visitors of a bar have objected.
- There are defeats. And no one in the world is immune from them, moreover, no one avoids them. Therefore, it is better to fight for the fulfillment of your dream and lose several battles in this war than to be defeated and at the same time not even know what you fought for.
- And that's it? the listeners asked.
- That's all. When this truth was revealed to me, I decided to be what I really always wanted to be. The other one stayed there, at my house, he looked at me, but I didn’t let him in anymore, even though he tried several times to scare me, to suggest how much I was risking, not caring about my future, not postponing for a rainy day.
And from the moment I expelled the Other from my life, the Divine energy began to work its miracles.
