50 The Alchemist Quotes To Walk You Through Life

The Alchemist Quotes

If you were to read only one book in your life, I would suggest you to read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. This one from Coelho explains life in the simplest way possible.  And that is one of the reasons it found its place in the list of best books to start reading habit. 

There is so much on offer in this one that you can’t simply grasp all of it at once. The Alchemist is a treasure that has answers to some of your life’s toughest seekings but you comprehend them as and when a parallel situation arises in your life. 

Because of this belief of mine, I have this custom of rereading this at least once every year. 

If you have read The Alchemist and do believe in dreams, you will definitely like this blog post I wrote on The Fault in the crystal merchant’s line of reasoning in The Alchemist

Without any further ado, here I’m sharing 50 The Alchemist quotes that will help you walk through life:―
