“When you're unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. And you get to take yourself oh so very seriously. Your truly happy people, which is to say, your people who truly like themselves, they don't think about themselves very much.

Unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence.”
― Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

“He was not young any longer. Life no longer stretched before him as a vast uncharted field, its horizon lost in the distance.”
