Once someone asked me:
“What do you want to be your epitaph?” [ text on your tombstone]
I answered:” I will be cremated, but if I ever had an epitaph, it would be:
‘ Paulo Coelho died while he was alive.” ”
The person said “Why this epitaph? Everybody dies when he or she is alive.”
I said, “No, this is not true. If the same pattern is repeated over and over again, you are not alive anymore. To die alive is to take risks. To pay your price.”
Some epitaphs:
“Don’t Try” Charles Bukowski
The best is yet to come.” Frank Sinatra
“I had a lover’s quarrel with the world” Robert Frost
“Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty I’m Free At Last.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
“A tomb now suffices him for whom the world was not enough” Alexander the Great
“Truth to your own spirit” Jim Morrison
SO, HERE IS MY QUESTION
What should be written in your tombstone?
Qual seria o seu epitáfio?

See you later – in another place and time -with love
Read it on a tombstone on the towns cemetary:
Sag Deiner Angst dass sie sich irrt.
Tell your fear that it is in error
Dans la tirerie de mes pensées
L’âme s’étendait en lui, recovrié, délaissé
Et de mon propre corps, je me sens prisonier
De la tristesse qui a assaillit mon coeur
Tant de rage, d’angoisse et de rancoeur
Devant cette impuissance qui fait notre malheur
Mais pourtant, l’épé de l’espoir a fait choir sa lame
Une goûte de lumière au millieux de mon âme
Et aussitôt me vint une moins triste larme
Moi, créatures de lumière dans ce monde
Force éternelle qui vagabonde
De son âme a fait fuir toute cette grande pénombre
off to yet another adventure
I’m with you. for ever
E tudo voltou ao início.
Life goes on..
At least I fought a good one.
Te voi iubi mereu cei dragi!!
Lived, Loved, Died.
¡¡¡Gracias!!!
it was nice, it will be beautiful
Have a dream? Run for it! Can not run? Go for it! Can not go to it? Crawl for it! If you can not crawl to it? Lie down and stay down in the direction of dreams!
Есть мечта? Беги к ней! Не получается бежать? Иди к ней! Не получается идти к ней? Ползи к ней! Не можешь ползти к ней? Ляг и лежи в направлении мечты!!!
“I never thought of it that way”
(My favorite expression to hear from other people when talking to them.)
or
“I’m home.”
(The truth of the situation)
-Christian
I AM NO LONGER BLIND.
“If you came to mourn my loss , then you are at the wrong place, for my remains are dancing among the living “
Like the teardrops down the face
They run and run somewhere…
Who knows when they’ll fly up to the sky
When everybody’s done?
Or forever gone?…
No,butterflies will fill up
Every emptiness with fluttering purity…
And they’ll breathe it deeply,gracefully
Cramming hearts and eyes with dew of dreams and joy…
Be not like a stream that brawls,
loud, with shallow waterfalls,
but in quiet self-control,
link together sould and soul
She lives, now as always in her art.
She was the most happiest and fulfilled person i ever knew..
“As you are,so I was
as I am,so you’ll be”.
“Life goes on”
Enjoy Life, Before you meet me Again !
“Been here. Had fun.” — that’d be mine =)
ein Herz geht lächelnd weiter
a heart goes on smiling
un corazón anda sonriendo
I lived seeking for answers; I died seeking for peace.
P.S: its my birthday today and Im talking about an epitaph….hahahah funnyy
Or ” Don’t be sad that it’s over, be happy that it happened”
SIN LAMENTOS
“I do not know..”. -that would be
Conociendo el ruido del mundo puedo apreciar el silencio de mi espíritu
después de tanto esperarte por fin has llegado….
No Penny No Tension !
Aqui descansam os excessos e desperdicios de uma alma, que um dia se chamou Mónica…
“I remember myself.”
“CUANDO BRINDEN ACUERDENSE DE MI”
vivia visitando inconscientemente o além em noites bem dormidas, hoje porém em sono eterno, visitarei outro além consciente da viagem
DIOS “QUE LA BUENA SUERTE ME ACOMPANE SIEMPRE”
My journey continues
