Happiness is not on my list of priorities. I just deal with day-to-day things. If I'm happy, I'm happy – and if I'm not, I don't know the difference... Knowing that you are the person you were put on this earth to be – that's much more important than just being happy.

Peace will come With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall.
