Quote

If the world's a veil of tears, Smile till rainbows span it.

I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we're sad, and being yellow when we're cowards, and when we're mad, we're red.

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

There are people who are unhappy with everything.

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.

The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable.

Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.

Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
