Alchemy is more than just the transformation of something into something else. It is not about changing lead into gold, or stone into water, or any element into another element. No, alchemy is about that eternal ache in us for perfection. It is our regret over all the things we never achieved, all the dreams we never got to fulfill. It is the questions that haunt us in the late hours of the night. Who are you, and who are you becoming? What world have you entered into, and what world shall you leave behind? What will you do, so that you matter? What mark will you leave, so that your existence was not in vain?
The New Alchemistby Suzume Ito, 1996
