Quotations
Happiness
One must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
-Leo Tolstoy
"War and Peace"
Poor is the man whose pleasure depends on the permission of another.
-Madonna
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!

"The movie, Beastly"
Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
-Epicurus
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
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"
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be
-Marcel Pagnol
Happiness is only real when shared.
-Jon Krakauer
"Into the Wild"
