Life Lessons Quote by Paulo Coelho — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”

“In a world where everyone struggles to survive whatever the cost, how could one judge those who decide to die?”

“Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.”

“They say that in the second before our death, each of us understands the real reason for our existence, and out of that moment, heaven or hell is born.”

“We are always trying to convert people to a belief in our own explanation of the universe. We think that the more people there are who believe as we do, the more certain it will be that what we believe is the truth. But it doesn't work that way at all.”

““I ask myself: Are Defeats necessary ?”

“What are humans?’ Quillo asked. Lonī gave it some thought. He had not figured humans out fully, despite his years on earth. ‘The humans I have seen? Well, those are two-legged, feeble animals. They eat even if they are not hungry, and take up more space than they need. Not very friendly. We don’t mingle.”

“The years, the months, the days, and the hours have flown by my open window. Here and there an incident, a towering moment, a naked memory, an etched countenance, a whisper in the dark, a golden glow these and much more are the woven fabric of the time I have lived.”

“There are doors that look pretty on the outside, but as you walk inside, you will realize they are bizarre. Do not stay there. Find rescue as much as you can.”

“Those who find the key to the main door of success are not intimidated by the idea of greatness.”

“You don’t get to sit in my living room unless you wipe your feet and chip in for the rum.”

“We're young. We’re supposed to drink too much. We're supposed to have bad attitudes and shag each other's brains out. We were designed to party. We owe it to ourselves to party hard. We owe it to each other. This is it. This is our time. So a few of us will overdose, or go mental. Charles Darwin said you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. That's what it's about - breakin' eggs - by eggs, I mean, getting twatted on a cocktail of class. As. If you could see yourselves... We had it all. We have fucked up bigger and better than any generation that came before us. We were so beautiful... We're screw-ups. I plan on staying a screw-up until my late twenties, or maybe even my early thirties. And I will shag my own mum before I let anyone else take that away from me!”
