"Happiness has a limit for me. A limit where I can’t take any more. This limit comes to me much quicker than other people. All this happiness at once, I can’t stand it. People’s sincerity and kindness, if this all came out clear as day, everyone would just be so thankful. They’d be crushed by happiness. That’s why you exchange it for money, and pretend not to see it. That’s why I buy it. I buy it, because I can’t stand it anymore."- A Bride for Rip Van Winkle.
