Happiness

"Observe the herd as it grazes past you: it cannot distinguish yesterday from today, leaps about, eats, sleeps, digests, leaps some more, and carries on like this from mourning to night from day to day, tethered by the short leash of its pleasures and displeasures to the stake of the moment, and thus it is nether melancholy nor bored. It is hard on the human being to observe this, because he boasts about the superiority of his humanity over animals and yet looks enviously upon their happiness."
------Friedrich Nietzsche

Laura and Jarad's visit to the sunny state of Airzona

"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence...and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."

"Can anyone imagine anything duller than not having anything to wonder about? The possibility of our being forever unable to know everything all at once may be the best design feature of this whole human experiment!"
