“Find the stories that help you comprehend the incomprehensible. Find the stories that make you stronger.”
Eleanor Davis, How to Be Happy
“Write a story
A story about yourself

A story about your life
Now, believe it

Now write another story, same subject
A better story
More interesting
Stronger characters.
Now, believe that.

Just keep writing
You have plenty of time”
Eleanor Davis, How to Be Happy

Move toward it
Now you're climbing it
Now you're over it
Now it's gone.”

“Inside the bone was a tiny man he didn’t recognize. The man was made of thin flesh, wrapped around translucent bones, wrapped around organs no bigger than grains of sand pumping wildly. A small mortal man he’d carried hidden inside his own good, strong body.”

“Find the stories that help you comprehend the incomprehensible

Find the stories that make you stronger.”
Eleanor Davis, How to Be Happy
“Darling, I’ve realised I don’t love you.



If I loved anyone, it would be you. But I love no one. 



I’ve come to understand I don’t care about anything except for myself.

Any kindness I’ve ever shown has been in my own self-interest.

The very existence of other people seems doubtful.

I wanted more from life than this.

Let’s have a baby.”
Eleanor Davis, How to Be Happy

Eleanor Davis, How to Be Happy
“The fall from Eden is really an allegory for our transition from hunter-gatherers to an agrarian society. Before the fall we lived in a utopia, free of artificial social constructs.”
Eleanor Davis, How to Be Happy
“This is my favorite part of you, your eyelashes when the light hits them like that. This is my favorite part of you, right where your ear meets your jawline. No, this is my favorite part, the little crease under the tip of your nose.



Well, I only like the tip of your nose. If you didn’t have such a great nose-tip, it would be over between us.”
Eleanor Davis, The Hard Tomorrow

“The hoop wants to go where the party is!”
Eleanor Davis, You & a Bike & a Road
