Life
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.— Eleanor Roosevelt
Why This Quote Matters
Most happiness quotes stay in safe, general territory. This one does not. The word "experience" does specific work here, and that specificity is what makes it land.
Write it down by hand somewhere. There is something different about that act. Words stick in a new way when they move through your fingers.
Words like these do their best work when you stop rushing and let them sit for a minute.
