Do what makes you happy; don't be afraid to color outside the lines. ~ Peggy Toney Horton
What Makes You Happy quotes by Peggy Toney Horton
God wants us to be happy, because when we are, we are closer to Him. We can hear His direction better in the form of intuition and we can help others as well. So, do what makes you happy. ~ Sharon Critchfield
What Makes You Happy quotes by Sharon Critchfield
Dear J.,
I want to explain something.
After my dad set me on fire...Well...He died in jail while I was in the hospital getting skin grafts. And I never got to tell him how much he hurt me. Not just physically, but inside, you know? So I took it out on other things for a while.
I'm better now. I get counseling for it, and I'm really better. But I'm not perfect. And I'm still fighting it. See... You're like the only person I have in my life that I really care about. I'm selfish about that. I don't want anybody to touch you. I want to keep you safe. That's why I hate this assignment so much. Now that I have you, I'm afraid to see you get hurt or messed up, like I was. I'm afraid I'll lose you, I guess.
I wish you could always be safe. I worry a lot. If you weren't so damned independent...Ah, well. *smile* As much as we have been through in the past few months, we still don't know each other very well, do we? I want to change that about us. Do you? I want to know you better. Know what makes you happy and what scares you. And I want you to know that about me, too.
I love you.
I will try to never hurt you again.
I know I'll screw up. But I'll keep trying, as long as you let me.
Love,
Cabe ~ Lisa McMann
What Makes You Happy quotes by Lisa McMann
I hate that just because you happen to be good at something,people automatically think that's what makes you happy,but it's not really like that, you know? It's not that simple. ~ Amber Smith
What Makes You Happy quotes by Amber Smith
Find what makes you happy and go for it with all your heart. It will be hard, but I promise it will be worth it. ~ Charlotte Eriksson
What Makes You Happy quotes by Charlotte Eriksson
Set a goal to be happy; now do only what makes you happy. ~ Debasish Mridha
What Makes You Happy quotes by Debasish Mridha
Do what makes you happy. It sounds so simple and yet it's so hard, because few of us do. We live out of fear. We live for others, their hopes and expectations. We do what makes everyone else happy. ~ Viola Shipman
What Makes You Happy quotes by Viola Shipman
Many times people will say, you know, you're such a great role model. Well, that's great, but at the end of the day, you have to learn to be your own best role model and learn what makes you happy, not necessarily what society thinks you're supposed to be or women that you look up to, what they're doing. I look at that as being a symbol in a blueprint, but never forget that who you are is what's most important. ~ Jada Pinkett Smith
What Makes You Happy quotes by Jada Pinkett Smith
Find what makes you happy and do it often ~ Brenda Kay Winters
What Makes You Happy quotes by Brenda Kay Winters
Don't be afraid to be yourself just because you're not like everybody else in class. If you want to dye your hair green and that's what makes you happy, then dye your hair green, no matter what other people might say about it. Not everybody is going to like you - that's the world we live in; that's reality. ~ Rihanna
What Makes You Happy quotes by Rihanna
It takes practice to hear your true desires. Your passion will often come as a whisper or serendipitous event that reminds you of what's important and what makes you happy. ~ Eckhart Tolle
What Makes You Happy quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Go relentlessly in the direction of your ultimate purpose of life and that which makes you happy. ~ Debasish Mridha
What Makes You Happy quotes by Debasish Mridha
I think people stop themselves from doing the things they want to do. I just think you never know how long you're going to be around so you might as well do the things that are intriguing. Nobody really cares anyway so you have to do what makes you happy. ~ Gina Gershon
What Makes You Happy quotes by Gina Gershon
Now listen up - you cannot let a fear of failure, or a fear of comparison, or a fear of judgement, stop you from doing what's going to make you great. You cannot succeed without this risk of failure. You cannot have a voice without the risk of criticism. And you cannot love without the risk of loss. You must go out and you must take these risks.
Everything I'm truly proud of in this life has been a terrifying prospect to me - from my first play, to hosting 'Saturday Night Live', to getting married, to being a father, to speaking to you today. None of it comes easy. And people will tell you to do what makes you happy, but a lot of these has been hard work, and I'm not always happy.
And I don't think you should do just what makes you happy. I think you should do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable, and scary, and hard but pays off in the long run.
Be willing to fail. Let yourselves fail. Fail in a place, in a way you would want to fail. Fail, pick yourself up, and fail again. Because without this struggle, what is your success anyway? ~ Charlie Day
What Makes You Happy quotes by Charlie Day
Don't worry about where you are or what you have or even what you think you want. Take one step at a time and worry only about only this - who you are - who you really are. Find what you love, love what makes you happy - try giving instead of getting, try caring instead of hating. Remove the mindless distractions from your life and focus on the things and people that matter the most to you. Follow your heart to discover what makes you happy, never let go of it, never devalue anything that is beautiful, and build a life that lets you be yourself. ~ Benjamin F Sullivan
What Makes You Happy quotes by Benjamin F Sullivan
You need to worry less about what everyone else thinks and focus on what makes you happy ~ Maya Banks
What Makes You Happy quotes by Maya Banks
Just do what makes you happy ... sounds simple, doesn't it ? ~ Marie Avgeropoulos
What Makes You Happy quotes by Marie Avgeropoulos
If what makes you happy is going out and living it up and spending all your money on wine, women, and song, the world doesn't need that. But on the other hand, if you give your life to good works - you go and work in a leper colony and it doesn't make you happy - the chances are you're not doing it very well. ~ Frederick Buechner
What Makes You Happy quotes by Frederick Buechner
It's hard to feel sorry for someone who doesn't care."
"Yeah?" I ask.
"What do you care about? What makes you happy?"
"Nothing. Nothing make me happy. I like nothing. ~ Bret Easton Ellis
What Makes You Happy quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
We don't go out there into the world and do what would make us feel happy and fulfilled with our lives, because what if it's not good enough for our parents? What if it's not cool enough for our friends? What if our choices aren't good enough for everybody else? "But know this: no matter what you do, you will never escape judgment and criticism. Don't even take this as bad news. It just is. It's what people do. They can't help it. You're getting judged either way, so you might as well do what makes you happy. ~ Katie Morton
What Makes You Happy quotes by Katie Morton
Chats are so new to newspapers, historically. But they're so incredibly valuable because editors/reporters/columnists get to find out what's on the minds of our readers, what you think we should be writing about, what ticks you off, what makes you happy. Sometimes it can confirm what you think readers are interested in; sometimes it can turn you around 180 degrees. ~ Michael Wilbon
What Makes You Happy quotes by Michael Wilbon
Do what makes you happy! It's that simple. ~ Gia Allemand
What Makes You Happy quotes by Gia Allemand
We judge people by our own standards of happiness ... What makes you happy might not make that woman over there happy. But human beings have a terrible habit of thinking they know what's best for each other. ~ Priscilla Glenn
What Makes You Happy quotes by Priscilla Glenn
Focus on what makes you happy, and do what gives meaning to your life ~ Barry Schwartz
What Makes You Happy quotes by Barry Schwartz
...this is your life. It's not your mom's. You have to do what makes you happy too ~ Jessica Verdi
What Makes You Happy quotes by Jessica Verdi
Make sure you know what makes you happy, and don't forget it. ~ Derek Sivers
What Makes You Happy quotes by Derek Sivers
As long as you know who you are, and see what makes you happy, it doesn't matte how others see you ~ Wendy Mass
What Makes You Happy quotes by Wendy Mass
Forgetting who you are is so much more complicated than simply forgetting your name. It's also forgetting your dreams. Your aspirations. What makes you happy. What you pray you'll never have to live without. It's meeting yourself for the first time, and not being sure of your first impression. ~ Jessica Brody
What Makes You Happy quotes by Jessica Brody
It's a luxury to pursue what makes you happy; it's a moral obligation to pursue what you find meaningful. ~ Jordan B. Peterson
What Makes You Happy quotes by Jordan B. Peterson
What makes you happy might not make the other person happy. What you consider ahead of you, another sees behind. ~ Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
What Makes You Happy quotes by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
Do what makes you happy, think later. ~ Jack Barakat
What Makes You Happy quotes by Jack Barakat
The trick is that as long as you know who you are and what makes you happy, it doesn't matter how others see you. ~ Wendy Mass
What Makes You Happy quotes by Wendy Mass
I try to live by the rule do what makes you happy. ~ Niki Taylor
What Makes You Happy quotes by Niki Taylor
Decide what makes you happy and damn what anyone else thinks or says ~ Maya Banks
What Makes You Happy quotes by Maya Banks
The goal isn't to be successful; it's to be happy. And so it doesn't matter if I'm doing things in New York or teaching high school or I drop it altogether and sell coffee. The goal is to be happy, and people and relationships are what makes you happy. ~ Susan Egan
What Makes You Happy quotes by Susan Egan
Do what makes you happy. And when it doesn't make you happy anymore, make a change
without fear. ~ Debra Messing
What Makes You Happy quotes by Debra Messing
Always do what makes YOU happy, it doesn't matter what other people say, the only exception is when you cause other people to be unhappy ~ Maurice Mol
What Makes You Happy quotes by Maurice Mol
Make peace with the fact that there will be those who bitch no matter what you do. You might as well do what makes you happy, so at least when you hear the bitching, you'll know that the event they're griping about was exactly the one you wanted. ~ Ariel Meadow Stallings
What Makes You Happy quotes by Ariel Meadow Stallings
Life is so damn short. For fuck's sake, just do what makes you happy. ~ Bill Murray
What Makes You Happy quotes by Bill Murray
One of the greatest struggles of becoming an adult is figuring out what you want to do and what makes you happy. The courageous thing is to stick with it and see it through and see if you were correct. ~ Kristen Stewart
What Makes You Happy quotes by Kristen Stewart
doing what makes you happy is not selfish, it's necessary. ~ Zane Baker
What Makes You Happy quotes by Zane Baker
Wallace: What's the point of being alive if you don't do what makes you happy? What good is a career that makes you money if you hate yourself every day you do it? ~ Francesca Zappia
What Makes You Happy quotes by Francesca Zappia

What Makes You Happy quotes by Demi Lovato
As cliche as this sounds, no one is going to live your life for you. You owe it to yourself to pay attention to what makes you happy and to do it. You have to trust your inner barometer of pleasure, and tune your life to that. ~ Joshua David Swift

What Makes You Happy quotes by Will Kostakis
How to be Like RBG:
Work for what you believe in, but pick your battles, and don't burn your bridges. Don't be afraid to take charge, think about what you want, then do the work, but then enjoy what makes you happy, bring along your crew, have a sense of humor.
-Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Notorious RBG by
Irin Carmon ~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg
What Makes You Happy quotes by Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Accept what makes you happy and pay no attention to fearful beliefs no matter who they come from. ~ Raphael Zernoff
What Makes You Happy quotes by Raphael Zernoff
The fulfillment of desire does not necessarily make you happy because there is a satiation factor. You can get some apple pie and eat it. If this is what makes you happy, why not eat ten? ~ Frederick Lenz
What Makes You Happy quotes by Frederick Lenz
There is temptation to place too much importance on those things that you're meant to do, and not on to little everyday happinesses. I think if you do what makes you happy on a daily basis, your days gather into years and you have a happy life. I don't want to think too far ahead. I want to make sure that I enjoy tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. And we'll see what happens. ~ Guy Garvey
What Makes You Happy quotes by Guy Garvey
You should do what makes you happy. You are smart. You are beautiful. You can do anything. You don't belong here. You belong out there, ~ A Meredith Walters
What Makes You Happy quotes by A Meredith Walters
What makes you happy? What do you want outta life?"
"I…" I started, then changed what I was going to say. "Why do you ask?"
"'Cause I wanna know if it's in me to give it to you. ~ Kristen Ashley
What Makes You Happy quotes by Kristen Ashley
It's okay to be happy, it's okay to live your life exactly the way you want it ... It's okay to find what makes you happy and then to fight for it. To dedicate your life to discovering who you are. ~ Derrick Jensen
What Makes You Happy quotes by Derrick Jensen

So know what you like, know what makes you happy, stick with your guns, and state it with confidence. ~ Connor Franta
What Makes You Happy quotes by Connor Franta
What do I want from this life? What makes you happy is not enough. All the things that satisfy our instincts only satisfy the animal in us. I want more. I want to look up to myself and when I die, I want to smile because of the things I have done, not cry for the things I haven't done. ~ Tom Hurndall
What Makes You Happy quotes by Tom Hurndall
Do what makes you happy;
Be with who makes you smile;
Laugh as much as you breathe;
& love as long as you live.
~ Abercrombie & Fitch
What Makes You Happy quotes by Abercrombie & Fitch
Just remember to do what makes you happy, okay? Don't lie to yourself because you think it's safer. Reality
doesn't work like that ... . I think I told you that before.
She had.
But I'd been running for so long I wasn't sure what I wanted anymore. ~ Kody Keplinger
What Makes You Happy quotes by Kody Keplinger
I was on a mission. I had to learn to comfort myself, to see what others saw in me and believe it. I needed to discover what the hell made me happy other than being in love. Mission impossible.

When did figuring out what makes you happy become work? How had I let myself get to this point, where I had to learn me..? It was embarrassing. In my college psychology class, I had studied theories of adult development and learned that our twenties are for experimenting, exploring different jobs, and discovering what fulfills us. My professor warned against graduate school, asserting, "You're not fully formed yet. You don't know if it's what you really want to do with your life because you haven't tried enough things." Oh, no, not me.." And if you rush into something you're unsure about, you might awake midlife with a crisis on your hands," he had lectured it. Hi. Try waking up a whole lot sooner with a pre-thirty predicament worm dangling from your early bird mouth.

"Well to begin," Phone Therapist responded, "you have to learn to take care of yourself. To nurture and comfort that little girl inside you, to realize you are quite capable of relying on yourself. I want you to try to remember what brought you comfort when you were younger."

Bowls of cereal after school, coated in a pool of orange-blossom honey. Dragging my finger along the edge of a plate of mashed potatoes. I knew I should have thought "tea" or "bath," but I didn't. Did she want me t ~ Stephanie Klein
What Makes You Happy quotes by Stephanie Klein
Take this opportunity … and find what makes you happy. You may never get that chance again. Time waits for no one. ~ Karina Halle
What Makes You Happy quotes by Karina Halle
No wonder you're so quick to give up... I thought we were in a partnership, Shel. I've never expected you to ask permission to do anything. I love you for who you are, and I want you to do what makes you happy. ~ Bethany Lopez
What Makes You Happy quotes by Bethany Lopez
Don't let something make you miserable if you can do something about it. If that's what makes you happy, go for it. ~ Kate Brauning
What Makes You Happy quotes by Kate Brauning
Be true to who you are! Don't sit around waiting for approval, life is too short...DO what makes you happy! ~ Rosalie Bardo
What Makes You Happy quotes by Rosalie Bardo
When people say that they have longing to be a child (again)I think that they mean that they miss that child-like enthusiasm for life.

As a child, an adult can stop you from doing what makes you happy. Whereas, with enthusiasm, no adult should have the power to stop you. ~ Cheri Bauer
What Makes You Happy quotes by Cheri Bauer
Who are you? Where are you coming from? What are your strengths and ambitions? What makes you happy and fulfilled? What are your inherent gifts and talents? Clearly define yourself. ~ Archibald Marwizi
What Makes You Happy quotes by Archibald Marwizi
You can waste so much energy trying to make everyone happy, but at the end of the day it's impossible to please everyone, so you just need to focus on what makes you happy. ~ Lauren Conrad
What Makes You Happy quotes by Lauren Conrad
I'll be happy when I get married." The faith, the hope, the conviction that marriage is a happy institution, the sincere tone, the lack of any shred of doubt, made the world a better place that moment. I even probed, 'What makes you happy now?' He stuck to his guns," I'll be happy when I get married." Was it naivety or what is hope? Who was I to judge! ~ Andy Paula
What Makes You Happy quotes by Andy Paula
A responsible person accepts the results of his choices, attributing blame or praise to himself; that is what makes you happy with the way you turned out. ~ Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
What Makes You Happy quotes by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
Do what makes you happy, and don't care what others think. ~ Demi Lovato
What Makes You Happy quotes by Demi Lovato
If you want to know what makes you happy, imagine your very last day on this earth. Think about who you would wish to spend it with, where you might be and what you might be doing. For me, I would wish to spend it with the ones I love, somewhere not far from Nature, by the ocean, or maybe in a vibrant city, in a street with sights and sounds of people. Perhaps there's a vista of a fountain or a river... and watching the world go by, I'd be writing, completing the last chapter to a final book ... ~ Suzy Davies
What Makes You Happy quotes by Suzy  Davies
The negativity took some getting used to, but at the end of the day, life's too short. It's too short to get upset about what other people think . . . too short not to do what makes you happy . . . too short to not call that person back, to stay angry, to hold a grudge. ~ Elizabeth Meyer
What Makes You Happy quotes by Elizabeth Meyer
What makes you happy?"
"This," he said simply. "I like being with you. ~ Victoria Vane
What Makes You Happy quotes by Victoria Vane
Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. Start living for you and what makes you happy, because that's what everyone else is gonna do. ~ Carl Weber
What Makes You Happy quotes by Carl Weber
Live the life you love to live. Because love is all what makes you happy and happiness is all what makes life. ~ Kritika
What Makes You Happy quotes by Kritika
This is a Personal Poem

My self's self is thinking about itself.
Trying to sell its self a new self.

Don't worry, reader,
I'm not trying to fool you with language,

I have eyes to do that with.
I have forgotten our history,

I have forgotten how we met.
Reader, are you upset at how fast we're moving?

I'm likely with you in your bed,
between your hands, somewhere

in your mouth before
whatever it is you'll say next.

Say yes and now and love too.
Say what did Judith Butler say when saying,

" … one is undone, in the face of the other,
by the touch, by the scent, by the feel,

by the prospect of the touch,
by the memory of the feel."

I want to know you, reader.
I want to know a lot of things.

Can we ever truly forget about ourselves?
Is every self a self that makes itself available to love?

Like death. And its kind availability.
Like language, reader,

would we still be so unhappy if we could escape it?
To name the namelessness that is love,

in what we read, and what we see,
and what are feelings really?

Facts or flaws,
or something tells me now

that I must leave you, reader.
It's not you, it's me.

We guess at why things end,
we ruin things, we start and stall,

and all all all we do
is want. ~ Alex Dimitrov
What Makes You Happy quotes by Alex Dimitrov
Well, I will tell you, and you must understand if you can. You belong to a singular race. Every man is a suffering-machine and a happiness- machine combined. The two functions work together harmoniously, with a fine and delicate precision, on the give-and-take principle. For every happiness turned out in the one department the other stands ready to modify it with a sorrow or a pain--maybe a dozen. In most cases the man's life is about equally divided between happiness and unhappiness. When this is not the case the unhappiness predominates--always; never the other. Sometimes a man's make and disposition are such that his misery- machine is able to do nearly all the business. Such a man goes through life almost ignorant of what happiness is. Everything he touches, everything he does, brings a misfortune upon him. You have seen such people? To that kind of a person life is not an advantage, is it? It is only a disaster. Sometimes for an hour's happiness a man's machinery makes him pay years of misery. Don't you know that? It happens every now and then. ~ Mark Twain
What Makes You Happy quotes by Mark Twain
I have to tell him how much i miss him when he's not here. So I snug my face against his pulse in his neck. "I love you" I wait, barely about to breathe. He tightens his arms around me. "I know, and how luck that makes me." I watch him go, wondering just what the fuck that meant to me. ~ Ellen Hopkins
What Makes You Happy quotes by Ellen Hopkins
That doesn't make any sense."

"Nothing makes any sense anymore. Like, why am I talking to you? Why am I telling you this when you don't care?"

This question, at least, I knew the answer to. "But that's why you're telling me." I knew it was true. If we'd had the opportunity to deliver our confessions to anyone who actually cared about their contents, there was no way either of us would've opened our mouths. Sharing revelations is easier when it doesn't matter.

She was quiet. I heard other girls' voices in the background, high, wordless streams of conversation, followed by the hiss of running water, and then silence again. "Okay," she said.

"Okay, what?" I asked.

"Okay, maybe you can call me. Sometime. Now you have my number."

I didn't even have time to say bye before she hung up. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
What Makes You Happy quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
But, Catherine, everything's that true despite us - the things they're talking about, natural laws - will always remain true despite us. What matters is what's true because of us. That's what's up for grabs. That's where the battle is. One remembers and values one's life not for its objective truths, but for the emotional truths ... The only thing that's really true, that lasts, and makes life worthwhile is the truth that's fixed in the heart. That's what we live and die for. It comes in epiphanies, and it comes in love, and don't ever let frightened people turn you away from it. ~ Mark Helprin
What Makes You Happy quotes by Mark Helprin
Do they really think that attending mass will make them better, or happier, or save them from an eternity of hellfire? Maybe they do. But there are something like ten thousand religions in the world. What makes them think that they happen to have been born into the right one? I have asked this question several times. So far, I haven't heard a good answer. Better to start your own religion, I think. That way you get to be your own pope. ~ Pete Hautman
What Makes You Happy quotes by Pete Hautman
It is growing up different. It is extreme hypersensitivity. It is a bottomless pit of feeling you're failing, but three days later, you feel you can do anything, only to end the week where you began. It is not learning from your mistakes. It is distrusting people because you have been hurt enough. It is moments of knowing your pain is self inflicted, followed by blaming the world. It is wanting to listen, but you just can't anymore because your life has been to full of people that have judged you. It is fighting to be right; so for once in your life someone will respect and hear you for a change. It is a tiring life of endless games with people, in order to seek stimulus. It is a hyper focus, so intense about what bothers you, that you can't pay attention to anything else, for very long. It is a never-ending routine of forgetting things. It is a boredom and lack of contentment that keeps you running into the arms of anyone that has enough patience to stick around. It wears you out. It wears everyone out. It makes you question God's plan. You misinterpret everything, and you allow your creative mind to fill the gaps with the same old chains that bind you. It narrows your vision of who you let into your life. It is speaking and acting without thinking. It is disconnecting from the ones you love because your mind has taken you back to what you can't let go of. It is risk taking, thrill seeking and moodiness that never ends. You hang your hope on "signs" and abandon reason for re ~ Shannon L. Alder
What Makes You Happy quotes by Shannon L. Alder
It's important to keep up appearances with books," I explained. "Image goes a long way in this business."

He dared a look over at me, still nervous but steadily recovering his composure. "I go more for content."

"Really?" I repositioned slightly so that we were touching again, the soft flannel of his shirt brushing my bare skin. "Because I could have sworn a moment ago you were pretty caught up in outside appearance."

His eyes shifted down again, but I could see a smile curving his lips. "Well. Some things are so striking, they can't help but draw attention to themselves."

"And doesn't that make you curious about what's inside?"

"Mostly it makes me want to get you some advanced copies."

Advanced copies? What did he - ?

"Seth? Seth, where - ah, there you are." Paige turned down our aisle, Doug following behind. She brightened when she saw me, and I felt my stomach sink out of me and hit the floor with a thud as I put two and two together. No. No. It couldn't be -

"Ah, Georgina. I see you've already met Seth Mortensen. ~ Richelle Mead
What Makes You Happy quotes by Richelle Mead
Love is what makes sex more than masturbation. If there is no love even if you are really with a partner you masturbate with a partner. ~ Slavoj Zizek
What Makes You Happy quotes by Slavoj Zizek
Open your eyes and say my name."
I squeeze them shut more tightly.
"It would make my cock hard to hear you say my name."
My eyes pop open. "Jericho Barrons," I say sweetly.
He makes a pained sound. "Bloody hell, woman, I think a part of me wants to keep you this way."
I touch his face. "I like how I am. I like how you are, too. When you are ... What is that word you used? Cooperating."
"Tell me to fuck you."
I smile and comply. We're back in territory I understand.
"You didn't say my name. Say my name when you tell me to fuck you."
"Fuck me, Jerricho Barrons."
"From now on, you will call me Jericho Barrons every time you speak to me. ~ Karen Marie Moning
What Makes You Happy quotes by Karen Marie Moning
You know you love someone when he makes all the ordinary moments feel extraordinary. When doing absolutely nothing feels like everything. Gray assumed he wasn't enough. And what I didn't admit, what I didn't realize at the time, is that it's just the opposite. He was too much, That kind of love is the kind that traps you. And I'm not ready for it yet. ~ Katie Kacvinsky
What Makes You Happy quotes by Katie Kacvinsky
I don't care if it's a Cole Porter song, or George Gershwin, or Lennon/McCartney, or Elton John, or you know, whoever, Bob Dylan. Great songs are great songs, and they stand the test of time, and they can be interpreted and recorded with many points of view, but yet still retain the essence of what makes them good songs. ~ John Oates
What Makes You Happy quotes by John Oates
The transmission of SARS, Dwyer said, seems to depend much on super spreaders - and their behavior, not to mention the behavior of people around them, can be various. The mathematical ecologist's term for variousness of behavior is "heterogeneity," and Dwyer's models have shown that heterogeneity of behavior, even among forest insects, let alone among humans, can be very important in damping the spread of infectious disease.

"If you hold mean transmission rate constant," he told me, "just adding heterogeneity by itself will tend to reduce the overall infection rate." That sounds dry. What it means is that individual effort, individual discernment, individual choice can have huge effects in averting the catastrophes that might otherwise sweep through a herd. An individual gypsy moth may inherit a slightly superior ability to avoid smears of NPV as it grazes on a leaf.

An individual human may choose not to drink the palm sap, not to eat the chimpanzee, not to pen the pig beneath mango trees, not to clear the horse's windpipe with his bare hand, not to have unprotected sex with the prostitute, not to share the needle in a shooting gallery, not to cough without covering her mouth, not to board a plane while feeling ill, or not to coop his chickens along with his ducks. "Any tiny little thing that people do," Dwyer said, if it makes them different from one another, from the idealized standard of herd behavior, "is going to reduce infection rates. ~ David Quammen
What Makes You Happy quotes by David Quammen
Then he said, 'But it just makes me tired even thinking about it. It reminds me of that feeling I had before I left. Like my lungs were made of lead. Like I can't even think about starting to care about anything. Like I either wish that they were all dead, or I was, because I can't stand the pull of all that history between us. That's before I even pick up the phone. I'm so tired I never want to wake up again. But I've figured out now that it was never them that made me feel that way. It was just me, all along.'

I didn't reply. I was thinking again about that revelation in the bathroom in Il Pomodoro. That wanting to just be done, for once, to feel done, to not want anything. Thinking of how precisely Cole had described the fatigue inside me.

'I'm part of what you hate about yourself,' Cole said. It wasn't a question.

Of course he was part of what I hated about myself. Everything was part of what I hated about myself. It wasn't really personal. He sat up. "I'll go."

I could still feel the heat of the mattress from where he'd been. 'Cole,' I said, 'do you think I'm lovable? ~ Maggie Stiefvater
What Makes You Happy quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Hell? Baby, you have no idea what hell is. Hell is when someone you trusted takes your worst fears and makes them come true. Hell is being stuck inside your own head because no one cares enough to help you get out. Hell," he rasped next to her ear, "is being dead inside a body that still works."
