Quotations
Happiness
You cannot be with someone just because you don’t want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about.

Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
-Jean Jacques Rousseau

-Robert Frost

"Delirium"
Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
-André Gide
"L'immoralist"
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"
