Bertrand Russell

Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings -- crowded, active, thick. But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries sorrow's horizons are vague and its demands are few.
Larry McMurtry
Image

Life can be unsettling. Writers have always gravitated to conflict, unhappiness and disturbing themes. We as readers would get bored pretty quickly if stories were about all the pleasant things in life. Since we know our troubles are always coming we want to see in our fiction examples of how others have dealt with them.
Clarence Major

People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.

Sigmund Freud
Image
Folly is often more cruel in the consequences than malice can be in the intent.
Aldous Huxley

Andre Maurois
Image
Irresolution on the schemes of life which offer themselves to our choice, and inconstancy in pursuing them, are the greatest causes of all our unhappiness.
Joseph Addison
Image
My purpose, my whole life, had been to love him and be with him, to make him happy. I didn’t want to cause any unhappiness now—in that way, I decided it was probably better than he wasn’t here to see this, though I missed him so much at that moment the ache of it was as bad as the strange pains in my belly.
W. Bruce Cameron
Image
Oh the piercing sadness of life in the midst of its ordinariness!
Iris Murdoch
Image
So long as one is happy one can endure any discipline: it was unhappiness that broke down the habits of work.
Graham Greene
Image
All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

As anyone who has ever fallen foul of an airport, a conventional hospital or a bad restaurant knows, misery is made up of little things.
