And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love. Nicholas Sparks
About This Quote

This is a quote from "Howl", written by Allen Ginsberg. This quote is very powerful because it shows how everyone is meant to be happy and how they should seek happiness. I think this quote is very wise because it teaches us how to seek happiness in our lives by doing the things we like and trying the things that interest us. People sometimes underestimate the importance of what they do, don't do or say.

For example, they think that falling in love with someone they barely know is not important, but falling in love will change their life completely. Falling in love allows us to see the beauty in people and nature, lets us appreciate small things and helps us know what is important.
