"As Venus within Eros does not really aim at pleasure, so Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise... For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms."

"I think now that maybe true sweetness can only happen in limbo."

"Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance."

"The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey than that of happiness.

But happiness annihilates us: we lose our identity."

"The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world."

"The secret of happiness is love and secret of love is nonjudgmental care."

"We thought everything would be forgotten, but I still remember yourclaws running down my back.I wonder if you still think about us,the way I do.How our legs would crash into each other in the middle of the night, and how we endedup creating the moon in the confines of our beds."

"Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!"

"Happiness comes in many forms — in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else’s dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It’s okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be."

"my child, if you want to have a beautiful and happy life... 2 things you need... learn the art of love and practice it with your beloved one."

"Any intelligent person knows that life is a beautiful thing and that the purpose of life is to be happy,"said my father as he watched the three beauties. "But it seems only idiots are ever happy. How can we explain this?"
