Quotes About Happiness

Any happiness is a masterpiece.

I shall pass over the somnambulism of desire, the abrupt resolution which sweeps away all others, the alacrity of a body which, finally, no longer obeys anything but itself. We often describe the happiness of a soul which disencumbers itself of the body; there are moments in life when the body disencumbers itself of the soul.
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
Vous avez cru qu'il suffisait d'être parfaite pour être heureuse ; j'ai cru suffisant, pour être heureux, de n'être plus coupable.
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
La felicità è invece propriamente un lampo istantaneo che chiama il calore fisico da ogni parte del nostro corpo e mentre sale al cervello sparisce. L'infelicità, invece, ha un irraggiamento più tenace nell'assalirci e nel durare, e si mostra in più modi anche analogici.

~ Marian Keyes
But Lucy, I've no money. I put my face up to his and smiled. He smiled back. Frankly my dear, I beamed, I don't give a damn. I had always wanted to say that.
~ Marian Keyes
In the darkness she wrapped her arms around him and pressed herself against his snuggly warmth, a blissful hum in her veins. She was safe and loved, in bed with her man.
~ Marian Keyes
When happiness makes a guest appearance in one's life, it's important to make the most of it. It may not stay around for long and when it has gone wouldn't it be terrible to think that all the time one could have been happy was wasted worrying about when that happiness would be taken away?
~ Marian Keyes
They'd sing and eat cake and carry on around
~ Marian Keyes
All that I knew for sure is, I wanted to be as happy as possible for as long as I'd got, and my every second was so much better with Hugh than without him.
~ Marian Keyes
Love makes the world go round
~ Marian Keyes

Because way back before you were even born there was this girl you see. And I fell in love with her. It was something that I wanted-love-not because it was expected of me, but because I found it out my self-that happiness of wanting to be with that other person.

The sight of Fos and Opal coming down the street together absolutely tickled him. The idea of two such strangely unremarkable yet lovable people could have found and met each other reaffirmed his waning faith in anything remotely optimistic about mankind and seemed to be a more convincing proof than all the gospel shit flown from the pulpits of Knox County that life could, in fact, distribute happy endings.
~ Marianne Wiggins

When infants aren't held, they can become sick, even die. It's universally accepted that children need love, but at what age are people supposed to stop needing it? We never do. We need love in order to live happily, as much as we need oxygen in order to live at all.
~ Marianne Williamson
