13 'Live Laugh Love' Memes That Take A Stand Against The Basic

Uggs. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. There are certain products and symbols that just scream "basic." One such criminal is the catchphrase "Live, Laugh, Love." The banal quote has been emblazoned on everything from mugs to human skin. According to Know Your Meme the quote is inspired by the 1904 poem "Success" by Bessie Anderson Stanley.  The influential quote reads "He has achieved success /who has lived well, / laughed often, and loved much". Unfortunately, anything redeeming about this sentiment has been completely cancelled out by the sheer prevalence of the cliche motto. This selection of frustrated memes definitely reflects our weariness. We'd vote for anyone who offers to make the phrase illegal.
