Picked from "The Alchemist"

She wasn't as important as his flock because she din't depend on him.

When each day is the same as the next, it's because people fail to recognise the good things that happen in their lives everyday that the sun rises.

There was nothing to hold nim back except himself.

Principle of Favouarbility - There's a force that wants you to realise your destiny; it whets your appetite with a taste of success.

The secrets of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

Because this was the way god repaid those who believed in their dreams.

I am going to become bitter and distrustful of people becuase one person betrayed me. I'm going to hate those who have found their treasure because I never found mine.

I'm like everyone else- I see the world in terms of what I wouild like to see happen, not what actually does.

I'm afraid that if my dream is realised, I'll have no reason to go on living.

Not everyone can see his dreams come true in the same way.

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

There was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a speech for something believed in and desired.

And there were dunes, rocks and plants that insisted on living where survival seemed impossible.

Somewhere you are holding the person I love. So, when I,look out over your sands, I am also looking at her. I want to return to her, and I need your help.

Somewhere in your sands there is a woman waiting for me.
