Quotations
Happiness
We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing.
-Ray Bradbury
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
Yesterday I was sad, today I am happy! Yesterday I had a problem; today I still have the same problem! But today I changed the way I look at it!
-C. Joy Bell C.
To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
-John Dewey
If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
-Jules Renard
"The Journal of Jules Renard"
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
A mathematical formula for happiness: Reality divided by Expectations. There were two ways to be happy: improve your reality or lower your expectations.
