"Fate is nothing more than a person's outlook on life."  

"No matter where I lived, my life would be the same. I'd be living the same mundane life and no one would be interested in me. I felt like if I lived like this for too long, I'd shrivel up and die. That's why I invented you. You, who I'll meet someday. To you at least I wouldn't be that ordinary, right?"  

"I'm not unhappy but I'm not happy either."   

"Try having a kid. You'll feel full without eating. Every day will be amazing. You'll be invincible. No one can beat you. No one can beat parents."   

"I think I feel a compulsion to live a productive day, but there's not much to show for it. I'm just constantly looking at my watch and being chased by time. As soon as I realised I've been living like that my whole life, weirdly, my heart suddenly started to pound."   

"Do not give advice. Do not try to comfort. Those are the rules of our club."   

"I may not be completely liberated from time, but resting when I've done enough, and waking up when I've slept enough, finding my own rhythm like that might be the liberation I need the most."   

"I think I've come far enough. This isn't the right path for me. I don't have to keep walking it."   

"Do I have to have a goal? Can't I just live my life without one?"  

"That's life. Just when you think it's going well. I've never even had one whole perfect day."

He was still too young to know that the heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and that thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past. -- Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
From A Little Book of Happiness compiled by Ruskin Bond, The secret of happiness is to find a congenial monotony. -- V.S. Pritchett Happiness is not waiting to be found; there's no use looking for it. All we need to do is find the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it. Trust -- in people, in life -- is a good way to begin. We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. -- E.M. Forster Life works upon a compensating balance, and the happiness we gain in one direction we lose in another. -- Jerome K. Jerome The adventure is not in arriving, it's in the on-the-way experience. It is not in the expected; it's in the surprise. You are not choosing what you shall see in the world, but giving the world an even chance to see you, to get to know you, and, perhaps, show you just the things you had longed to see but could never find. Sometimes, when all else fails, a sense of humour comes to the...
