Quotations
Happiness
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
-Aristotle
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
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.
-Marilyn Manson
"My Story"
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
Holiness leads to wholeness and wholeness leads to happiness.
-Leslie Vernick
"Lord, I Just Want to Be Happy"
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!
-Casi McLean
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"
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
-Thomas Jefferson
