Life Lessons Quote by Elif Shafak — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We live in an age of too much information, very little knowledge, and even less wisdom.”

“God created sufferings so that joy might appear through its opposite. Things become manifest through opposites. Since God has no opposite, He remains hidden.”

“It was always like this. When you spoke the truth, they hated you. The more you talked about love, the more they hated you.”

“It is never too late to ask yourself, ‘Am I ready to change the life I am living? Am I ready to change within?’ Even if a single day in your life is the same as the day before, it surely is a pity. At every moment and with each new breath, one should be renewed and renewed again. There is only one way to be born into a new life: to die before death.”

“God is a meticulous clockmaker. So precise is His order that everything on earth happens in its own time. Neither a minute late nor a minute early. And for everyone without exception, the clock works accurately. For each there is a time to love and a time to die.”

“Wisdom is a mountain capped with snow. I've yet to meet the person who's given it a hug.”

“Never miss the opportunity to learn from those who successfully invested in the journey of success; they possess lessons that can help you get there as well.”

“People will scroll past your efforts, dismiss your dreams, and quietly doubt your chances. But the moment you succeed, the same people will suddenly want to know how you did it.”

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.”

“The moment you accept new, is the moment you accept change”

“You may be safe, but I am free.' Take advantage of the freedom that comes with your youth. Inhale life, exhale fire, and embrace the late, sleepless nights, because that's when the magic happens- when everyone else is asleep and you're awake thinking about the world as it is, and the world as it would be. Make the most of those moments," I said forcefully. "And in the coming years people will tell you that you're too young to change the world. I'm here to tell you, that's fucking bullshit.”
