This is why if you want to kiss you should kiss.
If you want to cry you should cry, and
if you want to live you should live.

"Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death."
"Live while you live and die and be done with it."
"Life is like a kumquat, one bite and it's all over your face."
"The only thing that doesn't change is change itself."
"There are worse things than death."
Here is an original one by me:
Is life so bad people are dying to leave or is it so great they are dying to be born?
I think life is beautiful most of the time. I think the depiction of life in Our Town when the question is raised about if you could relive just one day really shows how precious even the smallest moments are.

Life is a bowl of cheeries.
Into each life some rain must fall.
Life begins at 40.
The only thing you can be sure of is death and taxes.
Life is what you make of it.
Life goes on.
The news of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Mark Twain

You begin dying as soon as you are born.
I don't know why people celebrate birthdays. Why would you celebrate a year of life that you have lost? You are closer to death. If anything, maybe it should be mourned.

the ones with *'s by them are mine...
life is like a sewer, what you put in is what you get out...
*Attitudes are like stained paint brushes, they can shade or tint any painting to make them better or worse... attitudes can make a situation better, or worse
what lies behind us and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us....
the virtue of true love isn't finding the perfect person, it's loving the imperfect person perfectly...
*lonely spaces only need spacers... they only need people to make them unlonely
pain is inevitable, suffering is optional...
fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth...
we can find our match with a poodle, or a guard dog, but the interesting question is, what happens next...
take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop...
*am i stupid because of my answer, or is my answer stupid because it's mine? ignorance is bliss... don't be ignorant because of a persons past, maturity, or age
do we hurt because we know, or do we know because we hurt? ignorance is bliss...
*there's a fine line between love and hate... you just have to recognize it... exacly what it say's

"Everything will be okay in the end, if it's not okay, it's not the end!" I saw that on the Jones soda website. Not only is their soda good, they have an awesome, fun website! Check it out!
