Imagination doesn't always make you long for what you cannot have, but rather thrive in what you do not have.

I only seem negative to the fortunate. That's because I show the less fortunate that they aren't less fortunate after all.

I enjoy melancholic music and art. They take me to places I don't normally get to go.

If you want to know how negative you are, pay attention to how much you hate negativity in other people. Fragile, artificial positivity needs always to be surrounded by more positivity in order to stay positive, but the ability to be positive, happy, and even, at times, appreciative around 'negative people' is the mark of real positivity.

To esteem what makes you holy over what makes you happy - that is the greatest dare.

Joy, like love, is an impenetrable, God-given state of being. The distinctions between joy and happiness and love and affection are important ones under the notion that happiness is an 'iffy' emotion, a highly dependent feeling both aroused and destroyed by external conditions apart from God. And the distinction between love and affection is parallel to such.
