Famous Quotes about life

Paulo Coelho quote #249 from Eleven Minutes

Ive met a man and fallen in love with him. I allowed myself to fall in love for one simple reason Im not expecting anything to come of it. I know that in three months time Ill be far away and hell be just a memory but I couldnt stand living without love any longer I had reached my limitGenerally speaking these meetings occur when we reach a limit when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. These meeting are waiting for us but more often than not we avoid them happening. If we are desperate though if we have nothing to lose or if we are full of enthusiasm for life then the unknown reveals itself and our universe changes directions.

Martin Luther King Jr. quote #139 from A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King

Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says Love your enemies. It is this that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them and they cant stand it too long. Oh they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings and sometimes theyll hate you a little more at that transition period but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. Thats love you see. It is redemptive and this is why Jesus says love. Theres something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. from Loving Your Enemies

William Shakespeare quote #84 from Romeo and Juliet

O hereWill I set up my everlasting restAnd shake the yoke of inauspicious starsFrom this world-wearied flesh. Eyes look your lastArms take your last embrace and lips O youThe doors of breath seal with a righteous kissA dateless bargain to engrossing death
