Alchemists Quote by Paulo Coelho
““That’s what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too. It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that’s where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to be better than we are.””
