“You are all the happiness," he said, with an energy of conviction astonishing at half-past nine in the morning, "and all the music, and all the colour, and all the fragrance there is in the world.”
“Remembrance of the past kills all present energy and deadens all hope for the future”
“He'd learned something. Life was booby-trapped and there was no easy passage through. You had to jump from colour to colour, from happiness to happiness. And all those possible explosions in between. It could be all over any time.”
“The happier you are, the more attractive you will be to those you love and cherish. As a great teacher once said, "Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower and draws all good things toward you.”
“When he left, you spent all your energy holding on to him. You could be happy if you let go.”
“Then he thought himself unhappy, but happiness was all in the future; now he felt that the best happiness was already in the past.”
