'Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.'

I hope they get here soon. The kids are biting at the chomp.

The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.

“I wasn't yawning, I was just letting some fresh air into my mouth.” (After being accused of being tired.)

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.''
