“The Outsider is always unhappy, but he is an agent that ensures the happiness for millions of 'Insiders.”

“True happiness comes when you begin to live inside out, not outside in.”

“Nobody has ever been happy in a job they obtained by first handing in a resumé.”

“Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you!”

“Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings… It's something we make inside ourselves.”

“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.”

“He tapped my chest. 'Happy is here.' He tapped his own chest. 'Here.'

“As a novelist, my job is to play a role as an endoscope to look inside of a person, while also showing him or her with an external camera.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a relationship, a lifestyle, or a job. If it doesn’t make you happy let it go.”
