“Happiness is not something you acquire; love is not something you produce; love is not something you have; love is something that has you.”

Anthony de Mello (1931–1987) Indian writer

"The Land of Love", p. 172
Awareness (1992)
Context: Understand the obstructions you are putting in the way of love, freedom, and happiness and they will drop. Turn on the light of awareness and the darkness will disappear. Happiness is not something you acquire; love is not something you produce; love is not something you have; love is something that has you.
