Harlan Ellison
“I know that pain is the most important thing in the universes. Greater than survival, greater than love, greater even than the beauty it brings about. For without pain, there can be no pleasure. Without sadness, there can be no happiness. Without misery there can be no beauty. And without these, life is endless, hopeless, doomed and damned.
Adult. You have become adult.”
Harlan Ellison, Paingod and Other Delusions

Jane Austen
“Angry people are not always wise.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Oscar Wilde
“Hearts are made to be broken.”
Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

W.P. Kinsella
“Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get”
