We can laugh from either joy or happiness, but we weep only from grief or joy...Without the pain of farewell, there is no joy in reunion...without the pain of captivity, we don't experience the joy of freedom.

If you want to treat an illness that has no easy cure, first of all, treat them with hope.

Happiness is only the cart; love is the horse

Creativity can never be explained by appeal to reason alone. Like the birth of a child, creativity compels us not to explanation but to wonder and awe.

It is not stress that kills us. It is effective adaptation to stress that allows us to live.

Joy is connection... The more areas in your life you can make connection, the better.

The only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.
