James C. Dobson
“There is no indication that God explained to Joseph what He was doing through those many years of heartache or how the pieces would eventually fit together. He had no ways of knowing that he would eventually enjoy a triumphal reunion with his family. He was expected, as you and I are, to live out his life one day at a time in something less than complete understanding. What pleased God was Joseph’s faithfulness when nothing made sense.”
James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

Michael Finkel
“His chief form of entertainment was reading. The last moments he was in a cabin were usually spent scanning bookshelves and nightstands. The life inside a book always felt welcoming to Knight. It pressed no demands on him, while the world of actual human interactions was so complex. Conversations between people can move like tennis games, swift and unpredictable. There are constant subtle visual and verbal cues, there's innuendo, sarcasm, body language, tone. Everyone occasionally fumbles an encounter, a victim of social clumsiness. It's part of being human.
To Knight, it all felt impossible. His engagement with the written word might have been the closest he could come to genuine human encounters. The stretch of days between thieving raids allowed him to tumble into the pages, and if he felt transported he could float in bookworld, undisturbed, for as long as he pleased.”
Michael Finkel, The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit

J.R.R. Tolkien
“And no one was ill, and everyone was pleased, except those who had to mow the grass.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

Holly Black
“If he's half as taken with you as you are with yourself, I imagine he'll be well pleased.”
Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

Dada Bhagwan
“The greatest religion [dharma] is that we keep everyone pleased.”
Dada Bhagwan

“I love what I've got, that makes me feel joyful”
