Don’t let them take your crying, turn it upside down and use it for their own smile! I’ll be damned if death wears my sadness for glad rags.

We have everything we need to be happy but we aren't happy.

You ask Why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed, if you keep at it.

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's morefantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day sleeping its life away. To hell with that, shake the tree andknock the great sloth down on his butt.

You can make yourself happy or miserable - it's the same amount of effort.
