1. “Why is it that when one is enjoying, say, a piece of music, or a beautiful summer evening, or a conversation with a sympathetic companion, the occasion seems rather a hint at an infinite felicity existent elsewhere than a real felicity actually being experienced?”
Ivan Turgenev
Joy, Beauty, Longing, Experience, Reflection
2. “Why is it that even when we are enjoying music, for example, or a fine evening or conversation with people we like, why does it all seem to be a hint of some limitless happiness existing somewhere else rather than a real happiness, the kind, that is, we possess ourselves?” Ivan Turgenev Longing, Happiness, Illusion, Joy, Absence
5. “By the way, since I mentioned the word happiness... Tell me, why is it that when we are enjoying something, music for instance, a fine evening, conversation with people who are sympathetic to us; why is it that all this seems to be a foretaste of some joy without measure which exists somewhere apart and beyond, rather than real happiness, that is a happiness which is actually within our grasp? Why should this be? Or are you, perhaps, not visited by such feelings?” Ivan Turgenev Happiness, Joy, Longing, Emotion, Experience
6. “Pursue joy, not happiness. This is probably the hardest lesson of all to learn. It probably seems to you that the goal in life is to be happy. Oh, you maybe have to sacrifice and study and work hard, but, by and large, happiness should be predictable.” Guy Kawasaki Joy, Happiness, Life, Perspective, Fulfillment
17. “As kids we didn't know many fears, we smiled at strangers, we played with anyone new, we smiled more often, we didn't worry about the future, didn't remember much about the past, we hugged, kissed, cuddled, didn't fear judgement. And then we became "adults"! What a decline!” Ankur Warikoo Childhood, Fear, Innocence, Adulthood, Joy
