Quotations

"The Journal of Jules Renard"
Everybody has something, that one thing they must do to feel happy. I think this is yours, and I want you to be happy. You don’t have to do it, but its here if you choose to come back to it.
-Ilona Andrews
"Magic Bleeds"
If you can have everything at fifty that you wanted when you were fifteen, you're happy.
-Alfred Bester
"The Stars My Destination"
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
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"
