A Life is like a Box of Chocolates

"Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates
 You never know what you're gonna get."

by Forrest Gump
the lead character of the 1994 film Forrest Gump




"You know, they've got these chocolate assortments, and you like some but you don't like others? And you eat all the ones you like, and the only ones left are the ones you don't like as much

 I always think about that when something painful comes up. 
"Now I just have to polish these off, and everything'll be OK.
  ' Life is a box of chocolates."

In the book Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Knowledge

What Life Always Gives Us

“Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment
  This includes 

             every mosquito, 

             every misfortune, 

             every red light, 

             every traffic jam, 

             every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), 

             every illness, 

             every loss, 

             every moment of joy or depression, 

             every addiction, 

             every piece of garbage, 

             every breath. 

  Every moment is the guru.”

Marriage


"Ultimately, I think marriage is like two intertwined trees...

They balance and support each other while growing togetherEach of the branches signifies your interests as individuals or things that you’re willing to compromise onas such, they go off in different directions based on your own innate passions or by choice

However, living branches are always connected to their trunks, the trunk being the core of the individual and, when intertwined, of the relationship. If you can’t make things work at this fundamental level, then the other trunk is no longer a supporting double, it’s just suffocating."
