“try to enjoy myself when I can - I'll be miserable enough as it is.”
“I enjoy books as misers enjoy treasures, because I know I can enjoy them whenever I please.”
“Why should I bring happiness to those I loathe by obliterating myself, when I can make them miserable just by existing?”
“Oh, I'll enjoy myself. I want to make sure you enjoy yourself." "Why?" I said. "If you enjoy yourself, then there's a better chance you'll want to be with me again.”
“Maybe if I act well enough, I'll come to believe it myself.”
“When I find myself focusing overmuch on the anticipated future happiness of arriving at a certain goal, I remind myself to 'Enjoy now'. If I can enjoy the present, I don't need to count on the happiness that is (or isn't) waiting for me in the future".”
