Novel & Cerita Quotes On The Pursuit Of Happiness

“Elliot once told me his favorite quote was from an ancient history class he took to impress a girl.” A few people in the crowd chuckled. Lori could remember how she had fell on the floor laughing after learning he had sat through at least two ancient history classes to impress a girl, the thought alone brought tears to her eyes. He didn’t even get the girl, but he could remember the quote. Apparently it was the only thing that stuck in the two hour class. “The ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus said, ‘There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.’

“N-No way. That can’t be true!” “Why can’t it? I think it’s absolutely possibly true,” Esther said, gleeful to supply more fuel for imagination. “Honey, you can’t secure happiness by waiting for her to knock on your door. It’s a unicorn you need to seize with your hands! And right now, I’m telling you: with your assets, you can. I don’t believe for one second that he won’t find you a serious prospect to consider.”

'Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forg

"Sol, you aren't Jupiter nor are you Mars. You are you. You are Sol. So what does it matter if the masses never praise you? As long as your loved ones do so, it will be enough. So what does it matter if the world shuns you at the slightest failure? As long as you get up and continue to fight you will be alright. "You will be destined for greatness, of that I have no doubt. Do not let common sense bind you. Being the king? Saving the world? That is indeed good. Extremely good even. But what does it matter in the end? Riches and honor are nothing more than ephemeral clouds in front of the power of time. What really matters is how happy you are. And how can you obtain more happiness?" "By striv

Take my breath and take me far away, for dying is not as painful as what they say it was. All I wanted is to be happy and to be with the one I love. To be happy is all that I need, is all I wished to have, and is all I want to be. I never wished for anything in my entire life, but to be happy, but why is it that, that simplest dream wouldn’t be mine to have? I’ve been dreaming of that precious dream of mine ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been chasing that dream, but now, as this pain is killing me now, chasing that dream will never be mine in mind anymore. I’m tired of waiting, I’m tired of asking, and I’m tired of chasing the dream that will never be mine. I’m done waiting, I’m done a

"That's not true... I need you because I love you." "You can't love someone you never had in the first place. It's impossible." I shook my head in disagreement. I was angry and frantically shook my head, knelt again, and swayed back and forth. I held my head in my hands. "It was all a dream. Sally, wake up. Wake up." I shouted. "Every disaster must be overcome with endurance." A quote from Virgil echoed in the air. "To gain something, you must lose something in return. For that to happen, the course is to choose your destiny or let fate choose it for you."

Violet said while shaking her head. “Single but still happy,” Cindy said. “You two are happy, and we are both lonely people for life.” Jessica looked pitiful. “There is no love, the ideal is happiness. Happiness is the feeling, the realization of dreams and ambitions. Happiness is sometimes achieving what you want such as wealth, advancement in work, and a stable life. Or sometimes, happiness is going home with food to eat, work to do, and someone to wait for. In short, everyone has the right to choose their own happiness.”

Ryan tried talking to me in the beginning, but eventually saw I needed to be alone with my thoughts… and so he let me go. There was a movie I once saw called Kiss Of The Spider Woman. It was about a couple of prisoners in a South American jail cell. One line I particularly loved was from William Hurt, who played a gay man imprisoned for his sexuality. It went something like this: The most wonderful thing about being happy is that you think you’ll never be unhappy again. I love that quote, because it’s so true. When you’re truly happy, everything is bliss – and always will be. You’re absolutely sure of that fact deep down in your bones.
