Jonathan Larson
Jonathan Larson (February 4, 1960 – January 25, 1996) was an American composer and playwright. He received two posthumous Tony Awards and a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for Broadway Musical Rent.
The quote “Measure your life in love” is found in the song "Seasons of Love" which is a song from Rent. In the song the main question asked is "How do you measure a year?" Various answers are suggested, from points of the day ("Daylights," "Sunsets," "Midnights,") to units of measure ("inches", "miles"), to everyday events ("cups of coffee") to more symbolic concepts ("laughter", "strife"). In the chorus, the song reaches the conclusion that love is the only proper measure of a year in a human life and the phrase “Measure your life, measure your life in love”
