“Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place. But there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.”

~ E. L. (Elaine Lobl) Konigsburg, American author and  illustrator of children’s books and young adult fiction

“As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people.”

~ P.G. Wodehouse, English humorist and writer

“Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.”

~ Janis Joplin, American singer and seminal blues-rock goddess who died waaayyyy too young
