“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual,

― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

“Living either never has any point, or is always its own point; being a naturally cheery soul, I lean towards the latter.”
― Iain M. Banks, The Hydrogen Sonata

“Wherever we are, we want to be somewhere else.”
