"Love and work are the only two..." - Quote by Marilyn Monroe
Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love.

“One of my strengths is I have a pretty even temperament. I don't get too high when it's high and I don't get too low when it's low. And what I found during the course of the presidency, and I suppose this is true in life, is that investments and work that you make back here sometimes take a little longer than the 24-hour news cycle to bear fruit.”
“A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.”
“There is but one way of refusing To-morrow, that is to die.”
More on Love
“The pleasure of love is in the loving; and there is more joy in the passion one feels than in that which one inspires.”
“There's an old poem by Neruda that I've always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says "love is so short, forgetting is so long." It's a line I've related to in my saddest moments, when I needed to know someone else had felt that exact same way. And when we're trying to move on, the moments we always go back to aren't the mundane ones. They are the moments you saw sparks that weren't really there, felt stars aligning without having any proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without any warning.”
“the battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down, if you said you'd rather love than fight.”
