"You can't be unhappy when you are holding a cup of tea."

"I am not good at noticing when I'm happy, except in retrospect."

"I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel."

"To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment."

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself."

"Never regret anything that makes you smile."
