“When you say you are HAPPY, it also means that you have experienced sadness.. Because you wont know, without sadness, what happiness is.......”

“When people say they are happy for you it may mean they are sad for themselves.”

“The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, "No I'm happy for you"? Thats when it's really sad...”

“If you want to learn how to be happy, you have to know what is sadness first.”

“Tucked inside the moments of this great sadness - this feeling of being punctured, scrambling and stricken - were also moments of the brightest, most swollen and logic shattering happiness I've ever experienced. One moment would be a wall of happiness so tall it could not be scaled; the next felt like falling into a pit of sadness that had no bottom. I realized you could not have one without the other, that this great capacity to love and be happy can be experienced only with this great risk of having happiness taken from you - to tremble, always, on the edge of loss.”

“Don't be sad for what you have lost, be happy for the experience.”
