“Choose to be happy. It is what we have all done.”
“At any given moment the choice to be happy is present- we just have to choose to be happy.”
“But maybe happiness isn't in the choosing. Maybe it's in the fiction, in the pretending: that wherever we have ended up is where we intended to be all along.”
“In the end, we make our choices on our own. And no matter how stupid they are, we have to live—or die—with what we’ve done. Sometimes choosing our moment of death is the only freedom we have left.”
“After all, what are we, what is any one of us, if not a combination, particular and exact, of what we have done, what we have read, and what we have imagined?”
“What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.”
