George, who is out somewhere there in the dark, who is good to me - whom I revile, who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. And yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: Sad, sad, sad. Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest; for having seen me and having said: โYes, this will doโ. Who has made the hideous, the hurting, the insulting mistake of lovingโฆ me, and must be punished for it. George and Marthaโฆ Sad, sad, sad.
Edward AlbeeIโm not sad, but the boys who are looking for sad girls always find me. Iโm not a girl anymore and Iโm not sad anymore.

Iโll swallow you whole.
Warsan ShireFor a moment, I thought of the word happy and it was a word that just, well, it felt like it was visiting me.

Antoine de Saint-ExuperyThe pursuit of happiness is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence as a right of all Americans, as well as on the self-improvement shelves of every American bookstore. Yet the scientific evidence makes it seem unlikely that you can change your level of happiness in any sustainable way.

And just as dieters almost always regain the weight they lose, sad people don't become lastingly happy, and happy people don't become lastingly sad.

I would give my soul for that!

Even the sad, sour sisters should be kindly dealt with, because they have missed the sweetest part of life, if for no other reason.
