I think for me, happiness is crucial, but I think we think that happiness comes from amassing goods and getting things and being loved and being successful, when in fact my experience of happiness comes when you give everything away, when you serve people, when you're watching something you do make somebody happy, that's when happiness happens.

The point is -- in the right hands, everything that you give, you get. View quote

When you're reading a novel, I think the reason you care about how any given plot turns out is that you take it as a data point in the big story of how the world works.
