“To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something...” — Charlotte Perkins Gilman Quote

“To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something, while to secure it in this world we must do something.”

“In New York City, everyone is an exile, none more so than the Americans.”

“Audiences are always better pleased with a smart retort, some joke or epigram, than with any amount of reasoning.”

“Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.”

“As for mother Eve - I wasn't there and can't deny the story, but I will say this. If she brought evil into the world, we men have had the lion's share of keeping it going ever since.”

“It's never all over. All you need is a little happiness, and it begins all over again.”

“I had decided to stop chasing the money, and start chasing the passion.”

“The first law of attraction is use Cosmic Ordering now.”

“The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.”

“If the sun is shining, stand in it- yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass- they have to- because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centred. What you are pursuing is meaning- a meaningful life... There are times when it will go so wrong that you will be barely alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms.”
