Variant: You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
“There are a few moments in your life when you are truly and completely happy, and you remember to give thanks. Even as it happens you are nostalgic for the moment, you are tucking it away in your scrapbook.”

“Life is not breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.”
Variant: Life is not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away.
Song "The Long Goodbye" (1973)
“Life is not measured by the breathes you take, but by the moments that take your breathe away.”
It is psychological time: past and future. Certain things in the past didn't go the way you wanted them to go. You are still resisting what happened in the past, and now you are resisting what is. Hope is what keeps you going, but hope keeps you focused on the future, and this continued focus perpetuates your denial of the Now and therefore your unhappiness. p. 43
