Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't as nearly so spectacular as instability.

Happiness is never grand.

There is nothing, nothing innocent or good, that dies, and is forgotten-forgotten! Oh, if the good deeds of human creatures could be traced to their source, how beautiful would even death appear; for how much charity, mercy, and purified affection, would be seen to have their growth in dusty graves!

Charles Dickens

I use to worry that if someone said something that in return it would be tested, I worried because I didn't want them to fail by factor of being tested.

Allen Blanks
