"There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go."
"The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy."
"I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure."
"I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!"
"I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters."
"This is the best kind of voyeurism, hearing joy from your neighbors."
"You purchase pain with all that joy can give, and die of nothing but a rage to live."
