“Life's about a hell of a lot more than being happy. It's about feeling the full range of stuff: happiness, sadness, anger, grief, love, hate. If you try to shut one of those off, you shut them all off. I don't want to be happy. I know I won't live happily ever after. I want more than that, something richer. I want to go right up close to the beauty and the ugliness. I want to see it all, know it all, understand it all. The richness and the powerty, the joy and the cruelty, the sweetness and the sadness. That's the best way I can honour my friends who died.” IfsKnowsWayWantTryingI CanFeelingsJoyHateStuffGriefHellSadnessMy FriendsDiedBest WayCrueltyRangeHonourSweetnessUglinessRichnessLove HateHappily Ever AfterEver AfterWant To Be HappyKnow It AllHappiness Sadness Author:John Marsden

There's melancholy and sadness around the edges. I haven't read all of her books, but it seems they often have... essentially happy endings?” ThinkingWayFeelsShouldWellsBookIdeasDifferentSeemsStuffKnownSadnessHavensApproachEdgesVersionsDifferent WaysMelancholyWell KnownJaneHappy EndingsAusten Author:Robert Sikoryak

“There's a marketing scheme that tells you that pregnancy and child rearing will make you into a moron, that your kids are only happy when you're buying them stuff. It's hard being a parent, but I laugh a lot and smile a lot and really enjoy it. The ratio of laughter to sadness is higher. There's part of me that wants to broadcast that. Parenting only affirmed what I already cared about, and that's good.” WantChildrenHardKidsStuffParentEnjoyLaughingSadnessHigherLaughterMarketingBuyingPregnancySchemesMoronRatiosBeing A ParentChild Rearing Author:Dar Williams
