“Happiness is an art mastered by the very few. Genuinely happy people are as rare as Christians who believe in God.”
“Very few people know where to look for happiness; fewer still find it.”
“Happy people are rarely interesting.”
“In this book, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle.”
“Happiness is a hard master--particularly other people's happiness. A much harder master, if one isn't conditioned to accept it unquestionably, than truth.”
“I felt lonely and content at the same time. I believe that is a rare kind of happiness.”
