“All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.”

“Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.”

“To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.”

“There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human—in not having to be just happy or just sad—in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time.”

“The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage.”

“There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.”

“The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.”
