“Unhappiness was my god.”

“If any be unhappy, let him remember that he is unhappy by reason of himself alone. For God hath made all men to enjoy felicity and constancy of good.”

“The most beautiful of altars, he said, is the soul of an unhappy creature consoled and thankfing God.”

“Unhappiness. There are all kinds of unhappy people in the world. I suppose it would be no exaggeration to say that the world is composed entirely of unhappy people. But those people can fight their unhappiness with society fairly and squarly, and society for its part easily understands and sympathizes with such struggles. My unhappiness stemmed entirely from my own vices, and I had no way of fighting anybody.”

“Everyday God gives us a moment in which it is possible to change everything that makes us unhappy.”

“My unhappiness protects me from life.”
