"People want to be happy, isn't that..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury
People want to be happy, isn't that right? Haven't you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well, aren't they? Don't we keep them moving, don't we give them fun? That's all we live for, isn't it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these.

More on Happiness
“The only thing we can depend on in life is that everything changes. The seasons, our partners, what we want and need. We hold hands with out high school friends and swear to never lose touch, and then we do.Change is the only constant. Your ability to navigate and tolerate change and its painful uncomfortableness directly correlates to your happiness and general well-being.”
“Hold puppies, kittens, and babies anytime you get the chance.”
“A fat man is never so happy as when he is describing himself as "robust.”
More on Society
“Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it.”
“Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.”
“The little people must be sacred to the big ones, and it is from the rights of the weak that the duty of the strong is comprised.”
