Quote by Paulo Coelho

If I must fall, may it be from a high place.

If I must fall, may it be from a high place.

Summary

This quote captures a spirit of fearlessness and ambition. It suggests that if one is destined to fail or face adversity, they prefer to do so while aiming for greatness. Rather than settling for mediocrity or playing it safe, the speaker desires to take risks and reach for the highest heights of achievement. They would rather pursue their dreams and potentially experience a dramatic fall, rather than never attempting to ascend or settle for less than their fullest potential.

I'm interested in trying to explore what I think is the truth at a given time in my life, and part of the process of being honest is - in my mind - talking about the idea that you're watching a movie.
