"In everyone's life there are moments when there is a lifting of the veil at the horizon of the known, opening a sight of the eternal. Each of us has at least once in his life experienced the momentous reality of God. Each of us has once caught a glimpse of the beauty, peace and power that flow through the souls of those who are devoted to Him. But such experiences are rare events. To some people they are like shooting stars, passing and unremembered. In others they kindle in a light that is never quenched. The remembrance of that experience and the loyalty to the response of that moment are the forces that sustain our faith. In this sense faith is faithfulness, loyalty to an event, loyalty to our response."

-Abraham Joshua Heschel

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute way.
What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything.
It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekend, what you read, what you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in love, stay in love, ad it will decide everything."

- Pedro Arrupe, S.J.

“Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason... and then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was a brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

-Edward Cullen "Twilight Saga: New Moon"

-Randy Pausch "The Last Lecture"

"To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feed our life. But to feel the affection that comes from those we do not know, from those unknown to us, who are watching over out sleep and solitude, over our dangers and our weaknesses - that is something still greater and more beautiful because it widens our the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things."

-Pablo Neruda, "Childhood Poetry"

No matter how bad things get, you must keep pressing on. So long as there is breath in your lungs and your heart is beating, you must keep living.

It would probably be really romantic to call you my better half, but I hesitate to think of you that way because I think we are something even greater. We are two complete and whole individuals, who together create something wonderful.
