Pursuit of Happiness

“People always think that happiness is a faraway thing, something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains -a cup of strong hot coffee when you’re blue; for a man, a cigarette for contentment; a book to read when you’re alone - just to be with someone you love. Those things make happiness.”
—Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (via bookmania)
“He was my North, my South, my East and West, my working week and my Sunday rest, my noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.”
—‘Funeral Blues’ by W.H. Auden (via iratherlikesnape)
