Andrew Sean GreerJust for the record: happiness is not bullshit.
About This Quote
When you say that something is "bullshit," you're suggesting that it's a lie. For example, you might say that "artists sell out," or that "mothers love their children," or that "pizza is the greatest food in the world." But when you say happiness is bullshit, you're saying it's an empty word. It's a word without any meaning. It's a word used to make people feel good when they don't deserve it.
