We would lie in those afternoon beds, afterwards, hands on each other, talking it over. Possible, impossible. What could be done? We thought we had such problems. How were we to know we were happy?
The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood
Happiness. It was the place where passion, with all its dazzle and drumbeat, met something softer: homecoming and safety and pure sunbeam comfort.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone, by Laini Taylor
Remember, Moses didn’t say, “Save everyone’s life.” He said, “Don’t kill anyone.” Sometimes you have to just make sure you are not harming anyone and then you have to focus on your own happiness.
