Quotations
Happiness
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
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 saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
The only satisfactory definition of happiness is wholeness.
-Helen Keller
You cannot be with someone just because you don’t want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about.
-Melisa De La Cruz
"The Van Alen Legacy"
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
-Ernest Hemingway
Happiness is not the absence of problems. It’s the ability to deal with them.
-Steve Maraboli
"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction, not from the vital’s or body’s satisfaction.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
But the happiest people are the ones who understand that good things occur when one allows them to.
-Danny Wallace
