“Yes, I do things to make you happy because doing that makes my heart happy too.”

Be kind to yourself. The world is already there to be unkind to you.

Be a woman who fixes other woman’s crown without telling the world its crooked.

Don’t stop dreaming just because you had a nightmare.

Do not pour your sunshine into someone who doesn’t consider you their sky.

I don’t have time to hate anyone. I either love you or don’t care at all.

Trust the vibes you get, energy doesn’t lie.

What the mind can conceive, It can achieve.

Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.

If you really want to apologize to someone, then change your behavior. Thats the best apology.

To get the joy you have to go through pain. To get the rainbow, you have to go through rain.

Allow yourself some time to breathe, release and refill.

Pay close attention to those who don’t clap when you win.

She is an old soul, with young eyes. An euphoric heart and a beautiful mind.

You glow differently when you are actually happy.

Avoid people who drain your positivity and dim your light.

Trust the process, things happen for a reason.

They are a very decent generous lot of people out here and they don’t expect you to listen. It’s the secret of social ease in this country. They talk entirely for their own pleasure. Nothing they say is designed to be heard.

Its a rather pleasant change when all your life you’ve had people looking after you, to have someone to look after yourself. Only of course it has to be someone pretty hopeless to need looking after by me.

Money can’t buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

Revision has its own peculiar pleasures and its own peculiar frustrations. The ground rules are already established; the characters already exist. You don’t have to bring the characters to life, but you do have to make them more convincing.

It’s what’s in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.

There’s still a part of me that thinks I have to write a really good novel. I’m not trying to say I’m not happy with the novels I’ve written in the past. But it always feels to me like there’s another one that I have to write that will really say what I want to say, and really paint this world that I can see hazily in my head.

Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.

Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil – or else an absolute ignorance.
