Please enjoy these quotes about Disillusioned from my collection of quotes and sayings.
Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
Perhaps this person will never
be disappointed or disillusioned;
perhaps she won't suffer the way
people do when they have a dream to follow.
But when the person looks back -
and at some point everyone look back -
she will hear her heart, saying,
"What have you done with the miracles
that God planted in your days?
What have you done with the talents
God bestowed on you?"
- Paulo Coelho
I can't go back to yesterday -

Don't take it personally.

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

relating to each other, but not tied in any relationship.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

And one awakened person can awaken the whole world.
One lighted candle can make millions of candles lighted
without losing it's light.
