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"
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
If you search the world for happiness, you may find it in the end, for the world is round and will lead you back to your door.
-Robert Brault

want to, the feeling that you experience then, is called "Joy".

-Jenny O'connell
"The Book of Luke"
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

-Ilona Andrews
