“Love will never separate a man from his personal legend”

“You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't a true love.. the love that speaks the language of the world.”

“Not even your love could withhold you from fulfilling your own personal legend.”

“They were looking only for gold,"his companion answered. "They were seeking the treasure of their Personal Legend, without wanting actually to live out the Personal Legend.”

“Because true love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny”

“If there hadn't been a sixth day, man would not exist; copper would always be copper; and lead just lead. It's true that everything has its Personal Legend, but one day that Personal Legend will be realized. So each thing has to transform itself into something better, and to acquire a new Personal Legend, until, someday, the Soul of the World becomes one thing only.”

“And what went wrong when other alchemists tried to make gold and were unable to do so?""They were looking only for gold his companion answered. They were seeking the treasure of their personal legend, without wanting actually to live out the personal legend.”
