When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

"The king of Rhyme"
For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth.
Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people will spend it for you.
-Peter Shaffer
