The Laughing Heartyour life is your lifedon’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.be on the watch.there are ways out.there is a light somewhere.it may not be much light butit beats the darkness.be on the watch.the gods will offer you chances.know them.take them.you can’t beat death butyou can beat death in life, sometimes.and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be.your life is your life.know it while you have it.you are marvelousthe gods wait to delightin you. Charles Bukowski
About This Quote

The Laughing Heart was written by the Greek poet Theocritus, who lived in the fourth century BC. He wrote of the joys of spring. His poem is an ode to spring, and to the young people who are about to leave their parents' homes for the first time. It also shows how important it is to have fun while you are young.

You can’t take life too seriously while you are young, because, when you are older, life will take you seriously. These lines are especially poignant when applied to relationships. When two people are in love, they don’t pay much attention to other people’s opinions or advice.

It is better to see things for yourself and make your own decisions than to listen and change your mind over and over again.
