“You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer

“After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“I've always thought people would find a lot more pleasure in their routines if they burst into song at significant moments.”
― John Barrowman
