Friedrich Nietzsche
“Your only problem, perhaps, is that you scream without letting yourself cry.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.”
Theodore Isaac Rubin

Najwa Zebian
“These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb.”
Najwa Zebian

Slavoj Žižek
“Happiness was never important. The problem is that we don't know what we really want. What makes us happy is not to get what we want. But to dream about it. Happiness is for opportunists. So I think that the only life of deep satisfaction is a life of eternal struggle, especially struggle with oneself. If you want to remain happy, just remain stupid. Authentic masters are never happy; happiness is a category of slaves.”
Slavoj Žižek

C.S. Lewis
“I doubt whether anyone who has tasted it would ever, if both were in his power, exchange it for all the pleasures in the world. But then Joy is never in our power and pleasure often is.”
C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life
