Quotations
Happiness
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"
Happiness is not a goal... it's a by-product of a life well lived.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Unhappiness is bondage; therefore, happiness is freedom.
-Lauren Oliver
"Delirium"
You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes.
