Paulo Coelho quote #119 from The Alchemist

It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life and that with no need for words she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because when you know that language its easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you whether its in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other and their eyes meet the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love ones dreams would have no meaning.

I came to set fire to the earth. And I am watchful that the fire grow.May the fire of love grow in our hearts.May the fire of transformation glow in our movements.May the fire of purification burn away our sins.May the fire of justice guide our steps.May the fire of wisdom illuminate our paths.May the fire that spreads over the Earth never be extinguished.

Paulo Coelho quote #42 from The Alchemist

Its what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone when they are young knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But as time passes a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny... Its a force that appears to be negative but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. It prepares your spirit and you will because there is one great truth on this planet whoever you are or whatever it is that you do when you really want something its because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. Its your mission on earth.
