“Happiness and suffering are states of mind and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind.”

“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.”

“I'm so happy 'cause today I've found my friends…. They're in my head. I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you.”

“Being happy, a state of mind of inner well-being that terribly disturbs those who are not.”

“The mind does not regulate its own condition. Mental depression, for example, is a state of mind caused by the body. In a cell in the hole it only seems that there is a separation of mind and body - in fact, the body's condition (of deprivation of sensations; experiences, functions, and so on) controls the moods of the mind more than in any other situation I can think of.”

“…the walls of his house were full of images of a happy past, which in his mind seemed like a constant outside of time.”

“I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.
They're in my head.”

“The state of man's mind, or the elementary phase of mind which he so far possesses, conforms precisely to the state of the world as he so far views it”

“Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State.”

“According to the Buddhist tradition, the spiritual path is the process of cutting through our confusion, of uncovering the awakened state of mind. When the awakened state of mind is crowded in by ego and its attendant paranoia, it takes on the character of an underlying instinct. So it is not a matter of building up the awakened state of mind, but rather of burning out the confusions which obstruct it. In the process of burning out these confusions, we discover enlightenment. If the process we otherwise, the awakened state of mind would be a product, dependent upon cause and effect and therefore liable to dissolution.”
