Love and Life.... Really Beautiful.... Experience it....

Life is the flower for which love is the honey..
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit..
Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

Love can sometimes be magic.. But magic can sometimes...just be an illusion.. Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does... Love is a battle, love is a war; Love does not dominate; it cultivates.. Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.. Love is a game that two can play and both win.. Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.. Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.. Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation..
We don't love to be loved; we love to love.. Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other..

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.
Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old..  It takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within..
Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.. Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence..
It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun..

It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love..
If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
Everyone reserves true and deepest love not for
the species of human being in whose company they find themselves electrified and en-kindled, but for that one in whose company they may feel tenderly drowsy.. Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion.. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one beautiful life..
Mother Teresa said “The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”



The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity..
We perceive when love begins and when it declines by our embarrassment when alone together.. You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love..

The art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. 
which means - Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out..
Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact..
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.. Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.. The world owes you nothing.. It was here first..

God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny..
Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.. Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.. Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.. It is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, and a tragedy for the poor..
Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be..
Life is half spent before we know what it is..

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.. This makes it hard to plan the day..

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full.. Scratch where it itches..

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.. I love life because what more is there..
Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.. Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets..
My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night.. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.. Never be bullied into silence.. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.. The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore.. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line..

The fear of life is the favorite disease of the 21st  century..

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.. We can't plan life.. All we can do is be available for it.. What we play is life.. Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies..
You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave.. You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.. Your life is what your thoughts make it..

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say,  
"I used everything you gave me"..
I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.. I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it..

May you live every day of your life.........

With love to all...,
Prashanth Royan D'Cunha
