“The happier people can be, the unhappier they are.”

“If only everyone could know and live with their inner craziness. Would the world be a worse place for it? No, people would be fairer and happier.”

“The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one.”

“The happiness of one does not mean the unhappiness of the others.”

“Why am I unhappy? The question carries with it the virus that will destroy everything.”

“I can only conclude that worse than hunger or thirst, worse than being unemployed, unhappy in love or defeated and in despair, far worse than any of all those things, is feeling that no one, absolutely no one, cares about us.”

“Everyday God gives us a moment in which it is possible to change everything that makes us unhappy.”
