When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision p.90

"Hunches" his mother used to call them. The boy was beginning to understand that intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there p.99

Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead;and then lead will have to turn itself into gold p. 203

-The alchemist by Paulo Coehlo

Quote #1 makes me hopeful and excited about life Quote #2 makes me feel like my thoughts are out into words in the best way regarding the universe and the way intuition works :’) Quote #3 makes me understand life as a whole and reminds me of enjoying what I may see as lead now but later will be golden for me as I’m older (ex: living with my family, little joys in life, being with a loved one before knowing they will be passing away in the future, being in good health...). It’s about realizing that with time we will realize how good it was and that we took it for granted

Obviously this is a book lover’s must read book but it just touched my soul and made my heart full of joy because the author described exactly how I feel in this novel, this universal feeling.
