"Becky --" he begins, and there's a tiny intake of breath around the churchyard. "Will you--" "Yes! Yeee-esssss!"

"Build your home in small moments of joy, and you will always feel at home."
"A happy person is not without sorrow or grief. Happiness is the acceptance of pain, not the lack of it."
"Learn to be happy with yourself first, then happiness will follow you everywhere."
"True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future."
"If you have nothing but joy in this life, you are still rich."
"Happiness and goodness, according to canting moralists, stand in the relation of effect and cause. There was never anything less proved or less probable: our happiness is never in our own hands; we inherit our constitution; we stand buffet among friends and enemies; we may be so built as to feel a sneer or an aspersion with unusual keenness and so circumstanced as to be unusually exposed to them; we may have nerves very sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful. Virtue will not help us, and it is not meant to help us."
"I want you to be happy and for me to be part of that happiness."

But now Jack Harper's come and shaken me up, and there are snowflakes all over the place, whirling around until I don't know what I think anymore. And bits of glitter, too. Tiny bits of shiny, secret excitement."
"You don't just get over it. And it doesn't make any difference if you're supposedly a grown-up. It never goes away."
"I can never resist telling people good news. I mean, why not brighten someone else's life too?"
"Lover? I don't know. I don't know if she loves me. I don't know if I love her. All I can say is, she's the one I think about. All the time. She's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see."
"There's no such thing as ruining your life. Life's a pretty resilient thing, it turns out."
"I'm allergic to family occasions. Sometimes I think we'd do better as dandelion seeds-no family, no history, just floating off into the world, each on our own piece of fluff."
"I love new clothes. If everyone could just wear new clothes everyday, I reckon depression wouldn't exist anymore."
