Famous Lokesh Tuli Quotes

“I don’t care if they have a badge, a billion dollars, or a mandate from the Queen herself. Power attracts the worst kind of psychopaths. If someone tells you they have power over you 'for your own good,' you tell them to fuck off, and you watch your back.”

“Honor is a concept invented by the winning side to make the losing side feel better about getting their teeth kicked in. If some suit tries to take what’s yours, you don’t challenge him to a gentleman’s duel. You find his weakness, you find out what he loves, and you hit him there so hard he forgets his own bloody name. You go scorched earth. You make sure he never, ever tries to come back at you again.”

“You know whats the worst thing in the damn world? It’s the alarm clock on a Monday morning. You go out and see the world, and you feel blood pumping in your veins. You feel like a human being. Then you come back. To the traffic. To the boss who hates his wife. To the rent. You trade the sunsets for a paycheck. You trade your life for a little bit of comfort. It’s not a life. It’s a waiting room for death. And the worst part is, now that you’ve seen the exit... staying feels like suicide.”
