Every moment of your life that is not a complete nightmare is happiness.

I think my capacity to change has given me tremendous happiness because who I am today I am completely content to be.

It's up to you to be responsible for how you feel if you're not happy. Your happiness lies in your hands. You can't rely on a man to make you happy or complete you. That starts with you.

Even if happiness forgets you a little bit never completely forget about it.

That is happiness to be dissolved into something complete and great.

I've run into certain geniuses of individualism - they are very few and far between - who live their lives completely on their own terms they are very powerful and have a great amount of happiness. We all should aspire to that.

Completeness? Happiness? These words don't come close to describing my emotions. There truly is nothing I can say to capture what motherhood means to me particularly given my medical history.

The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.

Whatever I have tried to do in life I have tried with all my heart to do it well whatever I have devoted myself to I have devoted myself completely in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

I have a great respect for incremental improvement and I've done that sort of thing in my life but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.
