Don't Despair Quotes

“You can desire joy, and hope for it, but joy has a mind of its own and won’t let itself be pressured or stressed. So wait for it, allow yourself to be happy, and be happy when you are happy.”
― Matias Dalsgaard, Don't Despair: Letters to a Modern Man

“Your dissatisfaction with yourself speaks of a self-absorption, a vanity, which always gets in the way of your truly coming to rejoice in life.”
― Matias Dalsgaard, Don't Despair: Letters to a Modern Man
