“Money brings happiness. Fine. In that case, everyone who earns enough to have a high standard of living would be able to stop working. But then they're more troubled than ever, as if they were afraid of losing everything. Money attracts money, that's true. Poverty might bring unhappiness, but money won't necessarily bring happiness.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“We're surrounded by Universal Desire.
It's not happiness, it's desire. And desires are never satisfied, because once they are, they cease to be desires.”
