“ I knew then that I would devote every minute we had left together to making her happy, to repairing the pain I had caused her and returning to her what I never known how to give her. These pages will be our memory until she drows her last breath in my arms and I take her forever and escape at last to a place where neither heaven nor hell will ever be able to find us. ”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón

“We talk about social service, service to the people, service to humanity, service to others who are far away, helping to bring peace to the world - but often we forget that it is the very people around us that we must live for first of all. If you cannot serve your wife or husband or child or parent - how are you going to serve society? If you cannot make your own child happy, how do you expect to be able to make anyone else happy? If all our friends in the peace movement or of service communities of any kind do not love and help each other, whom can we love and help?”

“People will ask you the question 'how is life treating you?' But my question is 'how are you treating life?' On that your happiness rests”

“It is useless to cry over a thing which is not belong to you....”

“- Você nasceu em dia-de-sexta com os pés no sábado: quando está alegre por dentro é que está triste por fora...”

“She looked up, over the bandage that was nestled under her chin, and saw that the big-belly man with the red beard was starting at her, shaking his head. He looked like he was crying.
"I got ya this time," he whispered, as if to himself. "This time, I got ya.”
― Adam Gidwitz, In a Glass Grimmly

“Friedrich, why didn't you..."

"Ah, heaven, she gifs me the name that no one speaks since Minna died!" cried the Professor, pausing in a puddle to regard her with grateful delight.

"I always call you so to myself––I forgot, but I won't unless you like it."

"Like it? It is more sweet to me than I can tell. Say 'thou', also, and I shall say your language is almost as beautiful as mine."

"Isn't 'thou' a little sentimental?" asked Jo, privately thinking it a lovely monosyllable.

"Sentimental? Yes. Thank Gott, we Germans believe in sentiment, and keep ourselves young mit it. Your English 'you' is so cold, say 'thou', heart's dearest, it means so much to me," pleaded Mr. Bhaer, more like a romantic student than a grave professor.”
― Louisa May Alcott

“Станете собствения си най-добър приятел, спечелете уважението към себе си, мислете положително, осмелете се да живеете хармонично и т.н.": многобройните книги на тази тема ни карат да мислим, че това не е така лесно. Щастието заедно с пазара на духовността представлява не само най-голямата индустрия на времето, то е и съвсем определено новия морален ред: оттук започва разпространението на депресията, оттук всеки бунт срещу угнетителния хедонизъм постоянно напомня за нещастието и за отчаянието. Ето ни виновни, че не се чувстваме добре - зло, за което трябва да отговаряме пред всички останали и пред вътрешната си юрисдикция.”
― Pascal Bruckner

“Quien de verdad quiera conservar en la memoria lo sucedido, no debe entregarse a los recuerdos. El recuerdo humano es un proceso demasiado agradable como para retener el pasado; es lo contrario de lo que pretende ser. Porque el recuerdo puede más, mucho más: realiza con tenacidad el milagro de concertar la paz con el tiempo ido, en la que se volatiliza cualquier asomo de rencor y el blando velo de la nostalgia se deposita sobre todo lo que se percibió como duro y acerado.
Las personas felices tienen mala memoria y hermosos recuerdos.”
― Thomas Brussig, Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee

“Faith is the virtue of the storm, just as happiness is the virtue of sunshine.”
― Ruth Fulton Benedict

“Nuk e di. I kemi të gjitha ç’duhen për të qenë të lumtur, e prapë s’jemi dot të lumtur. Diçka mungon. Kërkova përreth dhe pashë se e vetmja gjë që më mungonte ishin librat, ata që unë i kisha djegur gjatë gjithë këtyre dhjetë a njëzet vjetve të fundit. Dhe atëherë mendova se ndoshta janë librat ata që do të më ndihmojnë.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“Who knew it was in my power to make anyone so happy? Or that I could ever be so happy myself?”
― Donna Tartt

“Laimė kartais esti dovana - bet dažniausiai tai kovoje pasiekta pergalė.”

“And love is two misfortunes which together do an happiness .(Et l’amour, c’est deux malheurs - Qui ensemble font un bonheur)”
― Charles de Leusse

“The secret of happiness lies in the lifestyle of a child who lives in present; past and future are only the grammar thing for him.”
― Ankit Rawat
