“She felt happy these days, yet there was always an undercurrent of sadness just below the surface”

“Fiona has the same glacial beauty of an iceburg, but unlike the iceburg she has absolutely nothing below the surface.”

“There were happy days, with watermelon, and sad days of whiskey.”

“She laughed so easily when she was happy. But also when she was sad.”

“she was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad”

“The memory of oppressed people is one thing that cannot be taken away, and for such people, with such memories, revolt is always an inch below the surface.”

“She wasn't bitter. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time.”

“When she is happy, she can't stop talking, when she is sad she doesn't say a word.”

“We don't know happiness without unhappiness, gaiety without sadness, and happiness can only be felt if you don't set any conditions.”

“Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, and I'm going to be happy in it.”
