Life Lessons Quote by Jonas Jonasson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“There are undoubtedly advantages to being dead, said Julius.”

“Lyra learns to her great cost that fantasy isn’t enough. She has been lying all her life, telling stories to people, making up fantasies, and suddenly she comes to a point where that’s not enough. All she can do is tell the truth. She tells the truth about her childhood, about the experiences she had in Oxford, and that is what saves her. True experience, not fantasy - reality, not lies - is what saves us in the end.”

“What we focus on with intention grows. Therefore, focus on what you want — not what you fear.”

“كل منا ينقصه شيء.. كل منا يفتقد شخصا ما.. صفة ما .. حلما ما .. سيكمن اكتمالنا فقط عندما نعترف بما لدينا من نقصان”

“Every time you see someone's bright-and-shiny, remember: They have their own crappy truths too. Of course they do. And every time you see your own crappy truth and feel despair and think, 'Is this my life?', remember: It's not. Everyone's got a bright-and-shiny, even if it's hard to find sometimes.”

“Sometimes, the hardest part of growing up isn’t forgiving others for what they did to us, it’s finding the courage to forgive ourselves for what we did when we didn’t know better.”
