“Happiness of heart can never be measured out and bundled up, it's intangible. We keep running after it, grasping for it, and the heat of our running so seldom brings it closer. But now and then there may be a moment. We look at something and know it is good and beautiful. Those moments are happiness.”
― Gladys Bagg Taber, Harvest at Stillmeadow

“For human nature is such that grief and pain—even simultaneously suffered—do not add up as a whole in our consciousness, but hide, the lesser behind the greater, according to a definite law of perspective. It is providential and is our means of surviving in the camp. And this is the reason why so often in free life one hears it said that man is never content. In fact it is not a question of a human incapacity for a state of absolute happiness, but of an ever-insufficient knowledge of the complex nature of the state of unhappiness; so that the single name of the major cause is given to all its causes, which are composite and set out in an order of urgency. And if the most immediate cause of stress comes to an end, you are grievously amazed to see that another one lies behind; and in reality a whole series of others.”
― Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz

“Joy is meant to be felt; its not meant to be detained. It is meant to be shared with others; not to be felt alone. When all the mouths smile out their teeth together, thats when the greatest happiness can be measured. You don't smile in order to see your friends cry and claim your joy is divine.”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“The Dragon of Bad Emotions:

… One of the most difficult (but utterly important) things to manage in life is to “KILL THE DRAGON” inside of ourselves—a strong, aggressive, negative “dragon” of nasty emotions that lives inside of you, me. . . everybody!

Probably this type of negativity can sometimes even be helpful in business, but it can also destroy any love or closeness, if you let it reach

into your private life. You have to kill this “dragon” every day, because it comes back again and again, trying to destroy your happiness and the good, close relationships you have with your partner, and with other people.”
― Sahara Sanders

“Q: What is nirvana and do many people attain it?

Lama: When you develop your powers of concentration such that you can integrate your mind into single-pointed concentration, you will gradually diminish your ego’s emotional reactions until they disappear altogether. At that point, you transcend your ego and discover an everlasting, blissful, peaceful state of mind. That is what we call nirvana. Many people have attained this state and many more are well on their way to it.”
― Thubten Yeshe, Becoming Your Own Therapist

Furthermore, we now tell ourselves a strange fable about a society completely devoted to hedonism, and for which everything becomes an irritation, a torture. Unhappiness is not only unhappiness;
it is, worse yet, a failure to be happy.”
― Pascal Bruckner, Perpetual Euphoria: On the Duty to Be Happy

“Every married woman needs to make love with her husband twice daily especially if she is over 30. At this age, you really need regular orgasms and regularly release estrogen, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, opiorphin, dopamine to prevent prolapse as you age, which is the main reason women ask for love making at forty, pay for it at fifty, pray for it at sixty and wish they can have it at seventy. Regular love making and orgasms can help you prevent vaginal atrophy and minimize the effects of menopausal syndrome such as hot flashes, night sweats, menstrual irregularities, vaginal dryness, depression, nervous tension, palpitations, headaches, insomnia, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, waist pains and dizzy spells especially if you are over 40.”
