100 powerful quotes from the book: The Alchemist

They say wisdom meets you where you’re at. You won’t understand anything above your current level of comprehension. That’s what happened when I read The Alchemist for the first time, three years ago. I was able to comprehend only a little from the story. But then I had decided to read the book for the second time and I couldn’t believe the wisdom I was able to decipher on life purpose, dreams, decisions, persistence, mindfulness, love, learning, meditating, courage and others. I collected these 100 powerful quotes from the book, hopefully you will be able to resonate with them, or at least some of them. Good luck! 1. We have to be prepared for change. 2. It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. 3. A shepherd always takes his chances with wolves and with drought, and that’s what makes a shepherd’s life exciting. 4. It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them. 5. When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person’s life. 6. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own. 7. At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie. 8. They wanted me to be a priest, but I decided to become a shepherd. 9. People say strange things, the boy thought. Sometimes it’s better to be with the sheep, who don’t say anything. And better still to be alone with one’s books. <a href="https://marympembee.medium.com/100-powerful-quotes-from-the-book-the-alchemist-cf8968d87ae4">Click Here</a>
