Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.

― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

“One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.”

“Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”
