when two such people encounter each other and their eyes meet ... there is only that moment.

Finishing up the quotes from The Alchemist today, as well as several songs and some other Glee quotes. :) 

"'Maktub,' the merchant said, finally. 'What does that mean?' ... 'In your language, it would be something like 'It is written.'"
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo

"I don't know why these things have to be transmitted by word of mouth, he thought. I wasn't exactly that they were secrets; God revealed his secrets easily to all his creatures. He had only one explanation for this fact: things have to be transmitted this way because they were made up from the pure life, and this kind of life cannot be captured in pictures or words."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"The boy thought about his treasure. The closer her got to the realization of his dream, the more difficult things became. It seemed as if what the old king had called 'beginner's luck' were no longer functioning. In his pursuit of the the dream, he was being constantly subjected to tests of his persistence and courage. so he could not be hasty, nor impatient. If he pushed forward impulsively, he would fail to see the signs and omens left by God along his path. God placed the along my path. He had surprised himself with the thought. Until then, he had considered the omens to be things of this world. Like eating or sleeping, or like seeking love or finding a job. He had never thought of them in terms of a language used by God to indicate what he should do."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"He learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke -- the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. Something that exerted the same force whenever two pairs of eyes met, as theirs here at the well. She smiled, and that was certainly an omen -- the omen he had been awaiting, without even knowing he was, for all his life. ... It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through time. ... When you know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's 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 incredibly 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, one's dreams would have no meaning."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"'The day after we met,' Fatima said, 'you told me that you loved me. Then, you taught me something of the universal language and the Soul of the World. Because of that, I have become a part of you. ... I have been waiting for you here at this oasis for a long time. I have forgotten about my past, about my traditions, and the way in which men of the desert expect women to behave. Ever since I was a child, I have dreamed that the desert would bring me a wonderful present. Now, my present has arrived, and it's you. ... That's why I want you to continue toward your goal. If you have to wait until the war is over, then wait. But if you have to go before then, go on in pursuit of your dream. The dunes are changed by the wind, but the desert never changes. That's the way it will be with our love for each other. ... If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"When you are in love, things make even more sense, he thought."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"Whoever believe in dreams also knows how to interpret them."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"'Fatima is a woman of the desert,' said the alchemist. 'She knows that men have to go away in order to return. And she already has her treasure: it's you. Now she expects that you will find what it is you're looking for."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"'There is only one way to learn,' the alchemist answered. 'It's through action. Everything you need to know you have learne dthrough your journey. You need to learn only one thing more.'"
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"'My heart is a traitor,' the boy said to the alchemist, when they had paused to rest the horses. 'It doesn't want me to go on.' 'That makes sense,' the alchemist answered. 'Naturally it's afraid that, in pursuing your dream, you might lose everything you've won.' 'Well, then, why should I listen to my heart?' 'Because you will never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside of you, repeating to you what you're thinking about life and the world.' 'You mean I should listen, even it it's treasonous?' 'Treason is a blow that comes unexpectedly. If you know your heart well, it will never be able to do that to you. Because you'll know its dreams and wishes, and will know how to deal with them. You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say. That way, you'll never have to fear an unanticipated blow."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 
 
"'Even thought I complain sometimes,' it said, 'it's because I'm the heart of a person, and people's hearts are that way. People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them, or they they'll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren't, or of treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because when these things happen, we suffer terribly.' 'My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,' the boy told the alchemist one night. 'Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search if its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"When I have been truly searching for my treasure, I've discovered things along the way that I never would have seen had I not had the courage to try things that seemed impossible."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"What you still need to know is this: before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we've learned as we've moved toward that dream. That's the point at which most people give up. It's the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on horizon.' Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell otehrs of them, seldom are you believed."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo 

"I want everything too much."
-said by Rachel Berry on Glee (Episode 1x08 - Mash Up)

"Life's a series of choices, a big combination of moments. Little ones that add up to big ones that create who you are."
-said by Will Schuester on Glee (Episode 1x08 - Mash Up)

"Leaders are supposed to see things that other guys don’t, right? Like they can imagine a future where things are better. Like Thomas Jefferson or that kid from the terminator movies, I see a future where it's cool to be in Glee club, where you can play football, ad where you can sing and dance and no one gets down on you for it. Where the more different you are the better."
-said by Finn Hudson on Glee (Episode 1x08 - Mash Up)

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
-"Halo" by Beyonce

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold and it feels like the end
There's no place to go, you know I won't give in ...
So far away, I wish you were here
Before it's too late this could all disappear
Before the door's closed and it comes to an end
With you by my side, I will fight and defend
-"Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need
-"You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones

Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring, and spring became summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along?
-"Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond

Your smile just captured me, and you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happened still ...
Well, you had me from hello,
I felt love start to grow,
The moment that I looked into your eyes, I knew it
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know,
You had me from hello
-"You Had Me From Hello" by Kenny Chesney

I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
About the places that I would like to see
I said "Friend, do you think I'll ever get there?"
Oh, but he just stands there smiling back at me
So I confessed my sins to the preacher,
About the love I've been praying to find
"Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future?"
He said, "Girl, you've got nothing but time."
But how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground,
When you know you were born to fly?
My daddy he is grounded like the oak tree,
My momma she is steady as the sun,
Oh you know I love my folks,
But I'm keep staring down the road,
Just looking for my one chance to run
'Cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a seed
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I wander, wild and free
-"Born to Fly" by Sara Evans
