“Everything is at once so simple and so complicated! It's simple because all it takes is a change of attitude:
I'm not going to look for happiness anymore.
From now on, I'm independent; I see life through my eyes and not through other peo-ple's. I'm going in search of the adventure of being alive.
And it's complicated: Why am I not looking for happiness when everyone has taught me that happiness is the only goal worth pursuing? Why am I going to risk taking a path that no one else is taking?
After all, what is happiness?
Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety,”
― The Witch of Portobello

But then they're more troubled than ever, as if they were afraid of losing everything. Money attracts money, that's true. Poverty might bring unhappiness, but money won't necessarily bring happiness.”
