To taste fully is to live fully. And to live fully is to be awake and responsive to complexities and truths - good and terrible, overwhelming and miniscule. To eat passionately is to allow the world in; there can be no hiding or sublimation when you're chewing a mouthful of food so good it makes you swoon.

Kate Christensen

If you don't accept yourself, you won't live fully, and if you don't live fully you'll need to get full some other way.

Victoria Moran

To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.

Pema Chodron

No individual life is an end in itself. One can live fully only by participating fully in the succession of the generations, in death as well as in life. Some would say (and I am one of them) that we can live fully only by making ourselves answerable to the claims of eternity as to those of time.

Wendell Berry

Unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax.

Alan Watts

I don't understand people who just live to exist, live to be OK. Live to be regular, live to be average. It doesn't make any sense to me. I live to be the best. I don't live to be good. You only get one life, and I live to be great. I live to be special.

Luke Rockhold

We need to learn to live in the here and now; this moment is the best moment. Live it fully.

Satish Kumar

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.

Wallace D. Wattles

I have to think about the future because, not that I'm bored with it now, but I can't live now, it's not my place to live now. I've got to live ahead of myself.

Ross Lovegrove

We can't live life perfectly fully, because we sleep eight hours a day! We can live life only partly fully!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

The only way to live free, the only way to live your life as an offering of love, is to feel everything fully and live open.

David Deida

So now live for real, Craig. Live. Live. Live. Live.

Ned Vizzini

To live fully is to live with an awareness of the rumble of terror that underlies everything.

Ernest Becker

I only live the full life when I live fully in the moment.

Ann Voskamp

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
