The unhappy person resents it when you try to cheer him up, because that means he has to stop dwelling on himself and start paying attention to the universe. Unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence. When you’re unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. You get to take yourself oh so very seriously. —Tom Robbins in Jitterbug Perfume More about this quote Tags: happiness universe self-centeredness attitude unhappiness Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
