It's one thing thinking something and another thing knowing it.

You must be careful when you ask people whether they’re happy; it’s a question that can upset them a great deal.

Eros is not tranquil-it gives us spikes of happiness rather than a constant feeling of wellbeing. It's the love we feel at the beginning of a love affair and corresponds to the expression 'falling in love' since it is as involuntary an impulse as a physical fall.

Be vary wary of people who declare that they're going to create heaven on earth, they almost invariably create hell.

Happiness often comes when least expected.

People fall in love more easily when they are already troubled by another emotion because we know that any intense emotional state greatly increases the risk of falling in love.

The basic mistake people make is to think that happiness is the goal!
