for whom the bell tolls

I've recently finished reading "For whom the bell tolls" by Ernest Hemingway and I must say it's an exciting & lovely story, where I have found one quote that took my breath away:

There is only now and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be in proportion. This is how you live a life in two days. And if you stop complaining and asking for what you will never get, you will have a good life.

And one night lying in my bed I wondered, if I've ever had such hours that could be all my life and before I fell asleep, I decided - yes.
Everyone, who once was fabulously wholehearted in love, someone who once felt love above all, ... - should say yes.

xoxo,
Ak.
