And if there's love, you can do without happiness too. Even with sorrow, life is sweet. Fyodor Dostoevsky
But time, as well as healing all wounds, taught me something strange too: that it's possible to love more than one person in a lifetime. I remarried.

You may be sitting around waiting for God to change your circumstances. Then you’re going to be happy, then your’re going to have a good attitude, then you’re going to give God praise.

Yes,' Montriveau went on in an unsteady voice, 'this Catholic faith to which you wish to convert me is a lie that men make for themselves; hope is a lie at the expense of the future; pride, a lie between us and our fellows; and pity, and prudence, and terror are cunning lies. And now my happiness is to be one more lying delusion; I am expected to delude myself, to be willing to give gold coin for silver to the end. If you can so easily dispense with my visits; if you confess me neither as... Honore de Balzac
The key to happiness, she said, is tolerance of those who do not do as you do.' `What if those who do not do as you do are gunning you down?' I said.... Alaska frowned. `Guns are intolerant. Guns are a failure of communication. Jeanette Winterson
The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does; just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing. Marcus Aurelius
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "All colors made me happy: even gray. My eyes were such that..."
All colors made me happy: even gray. My eyes were such that literally they. Took photographs. Vladimir Nabokov
Susan Ertz quote: "It was never built for the comfort and happiness of its..."
It was never built for the comfort and happiness of its citizens, but to astonish the world. Susan Ertz
As you grow older, it becomes harder to feel 100 percent happy; you learn all the things that can go wrong, you become superstitious about tempting fate, about bringing disaster upon your life by accidentally feeling too good one day. Doug Coupland
She was considered timid and morose. Only in the country, her skin tanned by the sun and her belly full of ripe fruit, running through the fields with Pedro Tercero, was she smiling and happy. Her mother said that that was the real Blanca, and that the other one, the one back in the city, was a Blanca in hibernation. Isabel Allende

so you're going to suffer but be very happy... J. K. Rowling

Maurice Sendak
