It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.

Quotations
Happiness
I'm not happy but I'm not unhappy about it.
-Alan Bennett
"The History Boys"
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.
-Marilyn Manson
"My Story"
To be joyous in life, a few bites to eat in peace, pouring rains or cool breeze are
sufficient... Whereas for reasons to be sad, you can write thousands of books on
it.
-Deep Trivedi
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
-Albert Schweitzer
I never understood the point of being sad when I could choose to be happy.
-Megan McCafferty
"Second Helpings"
Don't put off happiness you can have today. Tomorrow is a hope, not a promise.
-Debra Anastasia
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring.
-George Santayana "George Santayana"
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"
