Philosophy is like wine. There are good years and bad years but, in general, the older the better.
..there is more to life than just pleasure. We want to achieve our happiness and not just experience it.
Our happiness is completely and utterly intertwined with other people: family and friends and neighbors and the woman you hardly notice who cleans your office. Happiness is not a noun or verb. It's a conjunction. Connective tissue.
I've always believed that happiness is just around the corner. The trick is fining the right corner.
Maybe happiness is this: not feeling that you should be elsewhere, doing something else, being someone else.
[Happiness is] a ghost, it’s a shadow. You can’t really chase it. It’s a by-product, a very pleasant side effect to a life lived well.
