James Oppenheim
“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance. The wise grows it under his feet.”
James Oppenheim

Jane Austen
“You must be the best judge of your own happiness.”
Jane Austen, Emma

Jonathan Safran Foer
“...is ignorance bliss, I don't know, but it's so painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me? I think and think and think, I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Anaïs Nin
“What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.”
Anais Nin, Henry & June

Melissa de la Cruz
“You cannot be with someone just because you don’t want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about.”
Melissa de la Cruz, The Van Alen Legacy
