“No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.”

“we’re allowed to make a lot of mistakes in our lives, except the mistake that destroy us”

“Everyone contributes a word, a sentence, an image, but in the end it all makes sense: the happiness of one becomes the joy of all.”

“You can't want to be happy, because that's too easy and too boring.”

“If you want to control someone, all you have to do is to make them feel afraid.”

“I began to make some money, but I could never bring myself to leave someone else in charge of the shop; the crystals are delicate things.”
