“Daisy was a consciously happy young woman without any of the usual endowments that make for conscious happiness, money apart. She was not pretty, she was not clever, she had no friends, no talents, nor even an imagination to make her think she was happy when she was really miserable. As she was never miserable, she had no need of an imagination.”

“She was happy, she knew she was happy, and knew she ought to be happy.”

“I kept looking [at wife Katie Holmes] and thinking, 'This woman's amazing.' I'm happy that I'm with her. She's amazing, and I'd think the same of her even if she wasn't with me -- she's just amazing.”

“I’d rather be happy and odd than miserable and ordinary,' she said, sticking her chin in the air.”

“Deep in her heart, she wasn't sure she deserved to be happy, nor did she believe that she was worthy of someone who seemed… normal.”

“She was feeling, thinking, trembling about everything; agitated, happy, miserable, infinitely obliged, absolutely angry.”

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

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

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

“Maybe there was no happily ever after […] but there was happiness sometimes and she had it now, doing what she knew she was born for.”
