„If I seem happy to you… You could never say anything that would please me more. For men are made for happiness, and anyone who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.' All the righteous, all the saints, all the holy martyrs were happy.“
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky
„I do not think that we have a “right” to happiness. If happiness happens, say thanks.“
— Marlene Dietrich
„It makes it easier to get happiness. I do believe in a material world to a certain extent. I think material happiness is quite an important step before you look for spiritual happiness. There are people who think the other way round. They might also be right. But in the kind of education and the world where I have grown up, and we all are growing up, a certain level of consumerism become a reality. (as an answer to the question: Do you think that money can buy happiness?)“
— Shahrukh Khan
„Happy as a clam, is what my mother says for happy. I am happy as a clam: hard-shelled, firmly closed.“
— Margaret Atwood
