What have wealth or grandeur to do with happiness?" Grandeur has but little," said Elinor, "but wealth has much to do with it." Elinor, for shame!" Said Marianne. "Money can only give happiness where there is nothing else to give it... Jane Austen
What do you want? You can't want to be happy, because that's too easy and too boring. You can't want only to love, because that's impossible. What do you want? You want to justify your life, to live it as intensely as possible. That is at once a trap and a source of ecstasy. Try to be alert to that danger and experience the joy and the adventure of being that woman who is beyond the image reflected in the mirror. Paulo Coelho
What disturbs and depresses young people is the hunt for happiness on the firm assumption that it must be met with in life. From this arises constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction. Deceptive images of a vague happiness hover before us in our dreams, and we search in vain for their original. Much would have been gained if, through timely advice and instruction, young people could have had eradicated from their minds the erroneous notion that the world has a great deal to offer them. Arthur Schopenhauer
Ivo Andric quote: "What doesn't hurt - is not life; what doesn't pass - is not..."

Is it really sick for me to be happy right now?" I asked. My voice broke twice. He didn't push me away. He pulled me tight against his ice-hard chest, so tight it was hard to breathe, even with my lungs securely intact. "I know exactly what you mean," he whispered. "But we have lot of reasons to be happy. For one, we're alive."Yes," I agreed. "That's a good one."And together," he breathed. His breath was so sweet it made my head swim. Stephenie Meyer

Andre Gide quote: "What would a narrative of happiness be like? All that can be..."
What would a narrative of happiness be like? All that can be described is what prepares it, and then what destroys it. Andre Gide
Happy is the person who knows what to remember of the past, what to enjoy in the present, and what to plan for in the future. Arnold H. Glasow
Mahatma Gandhi quote: "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you..."
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Mahatma Gandhi
What a strange world it is where you can have as much sex as you like but love is taboo. I'm talking about the real thing, the grand passion, which may not allow affection or convenience or happiness. The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down. That's the size of it, the immensity of it. It's not proper, it's not clean, it's not containable. Jeanette Winterson
Henry Van Dyke quote: "Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not..."
Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are. Henry Van Dyke
Jeremy Renner quote: "What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do..."
What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy. Jeremy Renner
What are we all looking for? Happiness? One knows that doesn't last. Distraction, perhaps distraction from the ugly facts: that there is death, there is disease, there is impotence and senility ahead David Lodge
What it boiled down to is the strength to be able to say, 'I don't want to think about it.' Thinking negatively is the result of guilt and insecurity... You are the person who makes yourself happy. You're the person who makes yourself sad. It's much easier to feel better when you keep remembering that." [-p.481, "Caesar's Hours, My Life in Comedy with Love and Laughter", by Sid Caesar with Eddy Friedfeld, 2003] Sid Caesar
