“Everybody is looking for happiness, as if happiness is hidden somewhere! But you must realise that happiness is everywhere, not hidden in a secret corner of life! You are a bee and everywhere is full of flowers; do not try to find a particular flower; concentrate on every flower; try to extract happiness from ever simple thing!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Day after day I postponed living in you, but I never put off the death which I died each day in myself. I longed for a life of happiness but I was frightened to approach it in its own domain; and yet, while I fled from it, I still searched for it.”
― Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

“The secret to happiness: resist nothing and allow everything.
The secret to contentment: revere everything.
The secret to enlightenment: there is no secret.”
― Maximus Freeman

“.. and that happiness could be found in a grain of sand from the desert, as the alchemist had said. Because a grain of sand is a moment of creation, and the universe has taken millions of years to create it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
