Nothing else matters much -- not wealth, nor learning, nor even health -- without this gift: the spiritual capacity to keep zest in living. This is the creed of creeds, the final deposit and distillation of all important faiths: that you should be able to believe in life.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Man has lost one quality, the quality of zestfulness. And without zest, what is life? Just waiting for death? It can't be anything else.
Osho
Nothing quite brings out the zest for life in a person like the thought of their impending death
Jhonen Vasquez
Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person. Life will take on a new zest, deeper interest and greater meaning. You can think, talk and act yourself into dullness or into monotony or into unhappiness. By the same process you can build up inspiration, excitement and surging depth of joy.
Norman Vincent Peale
Indulgence rare to pleasures lendeth zest
Juvenal
If things don't come easy, there is no premium on effort. There should be joy in the chase, zest in the pursuit.

Don Marquis
Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.

What hunger is in relation to food, zest is in relation to life.
