Quote of the Day (Mary Karr, on Why People Fight Hope and Happiness)

“The reason people fight against being hopeful is because it sets you up to be disappointed. The reason people fight happiness is because if you don’t hope for anything, you never have your heart broken.” —Memoirist Mary Karr quoted in Alexandra Wolfe, “Mary Karr” (“Weekend Confidential” column), The Wall Street Journal, Sept. 5-6, 2015
