It is better that some should be unhappy rather than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality.
I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the greatest flights of art.
As a writer, you’re making a pact with the reader; you’re saying, ‘Look, I know and you know that if this book was really a murder investigation, it would be a thousand pages long and would be very dull, and you would be very unhappy with the ending.’
I was kind of an unhappy kid. I always felt like a cynical New Yorker trapped in a little kid’s body. I started to get some pretty bad anxiety disorders around puberty, which totally did not work with growing up a mile away from the beach. I started cutting my own hair.
I hate the school of thought that says work is work and that you have to be unhappy at work because that’s what work is. I totally respect the fact that not everyone has the choices that I have, and that some people have to work jobs that they don’t like because they don’t have any other options.
Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will, any marriage, happy or unhappy, is infinitely more interesting than any romance, however passionate.
I have known lots of adults who enjoyed similar enthusiasms as a kid and weren’t encouraged and then didn’t go anywhere with it and so they’re unhappy in their jobs as adults.
I was just unhappy – and lonely at times. There was always that other side of me nagging away, bringing me down. The anger. Even after good games, I just went home and looked at the bad points. It was just nuts.
I consider my teenage years as being desperately unhappy.
I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.
During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I’ve been stubborn ever since.
I’m not an unhappy person – I’m just an anxious person. It runs in the family.
We have awesome, passionate customer success and social media teams, but when I see a customer who needs help or is unhappy, I take that personally.
I am the kind of person who over-thinks, so I don’t want to get to a point where I’m creating scenarios, taking pressure and people being unhappy.
