Text Quotes
What else is there to make life tolerable? We stand on the shore of an ocean, crying to the night and to emptiness. Sometimes a voice of one drowning, and in a moment the silence returns. The world seems to me quite dreadful, the unhappiness of many people is very great, and I often wonder how they all endure it. It is usually the central thing around which their lives are built, and I suppose if they did not live most of their lives in the things of the moment, they would not be able to go on  (Unhappiness Quotes) The tragedy of an attachment is that if its object is not attained it causes unhappiness. But if it is attained, it does not cause happiness – it merely causes a flash of pleasure followed by weariness, and it is always accompanied, of course, by the anxiety that you may lose the object of your attachment  (Unhappiness Quotes) The words that reverberate for us at the confines of this long adventure of rebellion are not formulas for optimism, for which we have no possible use in the extremities of our unhappiness, but words of courage and intelligence which, on the shores of the eternal seas, even have the qualities of virtue  (Unhappiness Quotes) Men have gained control over the forces of nature to such an extent that with their help they would have no difficulty exterminating one another to the last man. They know this, and hence comes a large part of their current unrest, their unhappiness and their mood of anxiety  (Unhappiness Quotes) Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything  (Unhappiness Quotes) You are all adding to each other’s unhappiness; you are all helping each other to be more unhappy. Every single man has many people behind him making him unhappy. If an understanding of compassion is there, then you will change all the ways that you cause unhappiness in others. And if you can bring happiness to someone’s life, you will find a way to do it  (Unhappiness Quotes) Remember one thing: the one who brings unhappiness to others in the end becomes unhappy himself, and the one who brings happiness to others in the end reaches to the heights of happiness. That’s why I am saying that someone who tries to give happiness develops the center of happiness inside himself, and someone who tries to bring unhappiness to others develops the center of unhappiness inside himself  (Unhappiness Quotes) The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy  (Unhappiness Quotes) One of our major flaws, and causes of unhappiness, is that we find it hard to take note of appreciate and be grateful for what is always around us. We suffer because we lose sight of the value of what is before us and yearn, often unfairly, for the imagined attraction elsewhere  (Unhappiness Quotes) Men go to sea, before they know the unhappiness of that way of life; and when they have come to know it, they cannot escape from it, because it is then too late to choose another profession; as indeed is generally the case with men, when they have once engaged in any particular way of life  (Unhappiness Quotes) A chief cause of unhappiness is what I call mental movies. Mental movies are a misuse of the imagination. You know how it goes. You have a painful experience with someone, then run it over and over in your mind. You visualize what you said, what he did, how you both felt. As awful as it is, you feel compelled to repeat the film day and night. It is as if you were locked inside a theatre playing a horrible movie  (Unhappiness Quotes) If you look carefully you will see that there is one thing and only one thing that causes unhappiness. The name of that thing is attachment. What is an attachment? An emotional state of clinging caused by the belief that without some particular thing or some person you cannot be happy  (Unhappiness Quotes) When a mother quarrels with a daughter, she has a double dose of unhappiness hers from the conflict, and empathy with her daughter’s from the conflict with her. Throughout her life a mother retains this special need to maintain a good relationship with her daughter  (Unhappiness Quotes) No great amount of experience is required to discover that the greedy search for money or success will almost always lead men into unhappiness. Why? Because that kind of life makes them depend upon things outside themselves  (Unhappiness Quotes) I am more and more convinced that our happiness or unhappiness depends more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves  (Unhappiness Quotes) I believe half the unhappiness in life comes from people being afraid to go straight at things  (Unhappiness Quotes) The unhappy are egotistical, base, unjust, cruel, and even less capable of understanding one another than are idiots. Unhappiness does not unite people, but separates them  (Unhappiness Quotes) That’s essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly  (Unhappiness Quotes) It is almost always the unhappiness of a victorious disputant to destroy his own authority by claiming too many consequences, or diffusing his proposition to an indefensible extent  (Unhappiness Quotes) What do people mean when they talk about unhappiness? It is not so much unhappiness as impatience that from time to time possesses men, and then they choose to call themselves miserable  (Unhappiness Quotes) I have often said that all the unhappiness of men comes from not knowing how to remain quiet m a chamber  (Unhappiness Quotes) The cause of most of man’s unhappiness is sacrificing what he wants most for what he wants now  (Unhappiness Quotes) There is an illusion that has much to do with... most of our unhappiness... We expect too much  (Unhappiness Quotes) There are few couples as unhappy as those who are too proud to admit their unhappiness  (Unhappiness Quotes) I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don’t you think  (Unhappiness Quotes) To be happy, one only must be able to confront, which is to say, experience, those things that are. Unhappiness is only this the inability to confront that which is  (Unhappiness Quotes) I try to have no plans the failure of which would greatly annoy me. Half the unhappiness in the world is due to the failure of plans which were never reasonable, and often impossible  (Unhappiness Quotes) What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness  (Unhappiness Quotes) Unhappiness does not come from the way things are, but from the difference between how things are and how we think they should be  (Unhappiness Quotes) Such a value system might be responsible for the fact that the burden of unavoidable unhappiness is increased by unhappiness about being unhappy  (Unhappiness Quotes)
