You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

As the existential philosopher Albert Camus said (and I’m pretty sure he wasn’t on LSD at the time): ‘You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

You are concerned with your own happiness and I am telling you that there is no such thing. Happiness is never your own, it is where the ‘I’ is not.

Those who search for happiness do not find it because they do not understand that the object of the search is the seeker.

A person is never happy except at the price of some ignorance.

They've got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us — there is no life.

Be happy, but never satisfied.

One who cannot leave himself behind on the threshold of the moment and forget the past, who cannot stand on a single point, like a goddess of victory, without fear or giddiness, will never know what happiness is; and, worse still, will never do anything that makes others happy.

Life is the joyless quest for joy.

In the first place, no man is happy but strives his whole life long after a supposed happiness which he seldom attains, and even if he does it is only to be disappointed with it.

You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don't love yourself.

You will never be happier than you expect. To change your happiness, change your expectation.

happiness may come if not sought, but if looked for will never be seen;

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.
