There are dreams of love, life, and adventure in all of us. But we are also sadly filled with reasons why we shouldn't try. These reasons seem to protect us, but in truth they imprison us. They hold life at a distance. Life will be over sooner than we think. If we have bikes to ride and people to love, now is the time.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
2.
Donât be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face. âAccentuate the positive.â Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life.
Gordon B. Hinckley

Love in the past is only a memory. Love in the future is only a fantasy. True love lives in the here and now.
Gautama Buddha
'Affection in the past is merely a recollection. Affection in the future is simply an illusion. Real love exists in the present.'

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Inactivity saps the vigor of the mind, just as iron corrodes from lack of use and water loses its cleanliness through stagnation.
5.
The only constant you have from Point A, your birth to Point B, your death is you. There is no point in changing who you are to appease others when they're gonna leave your life. LOVE YOURSELF because you're the only one who's stuck with yourself. Fall in love with who you are and if anybody wants to join in on that. More Power to them.
Tyler Oakley

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Francis of Assisi
7.
One day I realized that I really needed to stop losing myself in my work and in my addictions. What happens is you just wake up one morning and feel absolutely dead. You can't even drag your soul back into your body. You feel you have negated everything that is wonderful about life. When you have fallen that far, it feels like a miracle when you regain your love of life. That's when you can begin really looking for a relationship. When you can appreciate the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.
David Bowie

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
John the Apostle
Heavenly affection is the basis of all existence; one who embraces it will find themselves embraced by divinity.
9.
We have to understand - not justify - what gives rise to this tragedy. It's not because they're looking for beautiful virgins in heaven, as Orientalists portray it. Palestinian people are in love with life. If we give them hope - a political solution - they'll stop killing themselves.
Mahmoud Darwish
10.
Share your presence with others, no boundaries, completely, openly, lovingly. Love is what makes us alive, that is why we feel so alive when we love. Service is being available to love. Life is the combustion of love. That we love ourselves here, that is the true magnificence in the mountains of being.
Alex Grey
11.
To love oneself is to love life. It is essential to understand that we make ourselves happy in making others happy.
Matthieu Ricard
12.
One thing people often want me to talk about is my public love life. When it comes to my love life, the perception seems as though I am a player. But thatâs not true. Love is something I am still learning. Itâs just an obstacle that I havenât yet mastered. I think thatâs my biggest hurdle in life.
Chris Brown

And true love waits In haunted attics And true love lives On lollipops and crisps
Thom Yorke

My love life is like a piece of Swiss cheese; most of it's missing, and what's there stinks.
Joan Rivers

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
Richard P. Feynman

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
Carl Jung

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.
Charles Darwin
21.
Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals 'love' them. But those who respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives, love them more.
Edwin Way Teale
22.
If you don't love life you can't enjoy an oyster; there is a shock of freshness to it and intimations of the ages of man, some piercing intuition of the sea and all its weeds and breezes. [They] shiver you for a split second.
Eleanor Clark
23.
No one who loves life can ignore literature, and no one who loves literature can ignore life.
Laura Esquivel

We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces.
Erich Maria Remarque
25.
If you want to know what's Real, of love, of life, of loyalty, put it through the greatest test: Time.
Yasmin Mogahed
27.
Behind all art is an element of desire...Love of life, of existence, love of another human being, love of human beings is in some way behind all art â even the most angry, even the darkest, even the most grief-stricken, and even the most embittered art has that element somewhere behind it. Because how could you be so despairing, so embittered, if you had not had something you loved that you lost?
Adrienne Rich
28.
Yes, I am very lucky, but I have a little theory about this. I have noticed through experience and observation that providence, nature, God, or what I would call the power of creation seems to favor human beings who accept and love life unconditionally, and I am certainly one who does with all my heart.
Arthur Rubinstein
29.
Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts, cause your mind to dwell on peace and joy.
Ernest Holmes

If you would be a magician, honor the Earth. Honor life. Love. Know that magic is the birthright of every human being, and wisely use it.
Scott Cunningham
32.
I love life... Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness.
Trey Parker
33.
I love life way too much and find fun in almost anything. I'm a chameleon.
Kellan Lutz
34.
We are not youth any longer. We donât want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces.
Erich Maria Remarque
35.
Why am I afraid to dance, I who love music and rhythm and grace and song and laughter? Why am I afraid to live, I who love life and the beauty of flesh and the living colors of the earth and sky and sea? Why am I afraid to love, I who love love?
Eugene O'Neill
36.
I love lifestyle stuff, I love housewares. I'm really a homebody, honestly. Anything to do with my kitchen, or my house, I'm all about it. I'm working on a sauce line, so that's kind of exciting. I'm a saucier.
Kelis

Indeed, Miss Manners has come to believe that the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the love lives of strangers and those who do not.
Judith Martin
38.
People became more interested in my love life than in me, and that has a certain effect. You start to feel very empty and worth nothing, you start to become a piece in a board game you never wanted to play.
Anna Friel
40.
I am amazed about how everyone wants to know about my love life. They whisper to me, 'Tell me the truth? Is it true?' Who cares? Because we have this job, we are to say to everybody what we do, or with whom we sleep? It's a bit absurd, but that's why everybody lies so much.
Penelope Cruz
41.
The question "Is this an act of self-love or is it an act of self-sabotage?" is
one you must consistently ask yourself if you are committed to having all
that you want and all that you deserve. When you love yourself you feel
worthy and deserving of claiming the gifts of this world. Self-love gives you
peace of mind and balance. Self-love gives you self-respect and the ability
to respect others. It gives you the confidence to stand up and ask for what
you want. Self-love is the main ingredient in a successful, fulfilled life.
Debbie Ford

Love is the essence of life; love touches all of our work. Love never leaves us. It clings to us, and we cling to it.
Emmanuelle Riva
43.
I shall never forgive you for teaching me how to love life.
John Wilmot
44.
Maybe love is like rain. Sometimes gentle, sometimes torrential, flooding, eroding, joyful, steady, filling the earth, collecting in underground springs. When it rains, when we love, life grows.
Carol Gilligan

The universal Mind contains all knowledge. It is the potential ultimate of all things. To it, all things are possible.
Ernest Holmes
47.
But the cinephile is ⌠a neurotic! (Thatâs not a pejorative term.) The Bronte sisters were neurotic, and itâs because they were neurotic that they read all those books and became writers. The famous French advertising slogan that says, âWhen you love life, you go to the movies,â itâs false! Itâs exactly the opposite: when you donât love life, or when life doesnât give you satisfaction, you go to the movies.
Francois Truffaut

One of the keys is, and it may sound funny, talking about characters with super powers, but one of the keys is to make your characters as realistic and believable as possible. Even if they have super powers, you say to yourself, "Well, if somebody had a super power like this, what would his life be like? Wouldn't he still maybe have to go to the dentist or wouldn't he have to worry about making a living? What about his love life?" You've got to make characters that your reader can believe exists or might exist.
Stan Lee

Love lives with Nature, not with lust. Go find her in the flowers.
John Clare
