Sigh.

"When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter."

-Albert Camus

"The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

-Allan K. Chalmers

"I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever."

-Amy Tan

"Have I told you how happy I am?"

-Elise Hanson

The Art of Seduction.

I recently read Robert Greene's book, "The Art of Seduction." I now think that everyone should read this book. It's probably the best thing to come out on manipulation for one's own social and political climbing since "How To Win Friends and Influence People." I love it. Read it. You'll be glad you did. Especially you single folks out there.
