Quotes About Happiness

was a life that wore you out, used up every ounce of your energy, and kept you profoundly, unquestionably happy. In the literal sense of the word, it stupefied you. The long days in the fields, the coarse food and insufficient sleep, the smell of hops and wood smoke, lulled you into an almost beastlike heaviness. Your wits seemed to thicken, just as your skin did, in the rain and sunshine and perpetual fresh air.
~ George Orwell

that the Party did not seek power for its own ends, but only for the good of the majority. That it sought power because men in the mass were frail, cowardly creatures who could not endure liberty or face the truth, and must be ruled over and systematically deceived by others who were stronger than themselves. That the choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness, and that, for the great bulk of mankind, happiness was better.
~ George Orwell

~ George Orwell
If you're happy inside yourself, why should you get excited about Big Brother and the Three-Year Plans and the Two Minutes Hate and all the rest of their bloody rot?
~ George Orwell
Para el futuro o para el pasado, para la época en que se pueda pensar libremente, en que los hombres sean distintos unos de otros y no vivan solitarios... Para cuando la verdad exista y lo que se haya hecho no pueda ser deshecho: Desde esta época de uniformidad, de este tiempo de soledad, la Edad del Gran Hermano, la época del doblepensar... ¡muchas felicidades!
~ George Orwell
Mais, à tout prendre, les animaux trouvaient plaisir à ces célébrations. Ils étaient confortés dans l'idée d'être leurs propres maîtres, après tout, et ainsi d'Å"uvrer à leur propre bien.

Enjoy life while you are here. Do not overstrain or try to save too much. If one-tenth of all you earn is as much as you can comfortably keep, be content to keep this portion.

~ George Sand
Ach, das ist süß. Das unbestimmte Leiden der Seele, die sucht, wartet, sich sehnt, sich selbst nicht kennt, die die Wunder des künftigen Lebens erbaut und die Trümmer des verflossenen wiederaufrichtet, dieses zarte, traurige Streben nach einem unbekannten Gut, das sich nie offenbart und nie erschöpft, all das ist das Leben der Seele. Unglücklich sind diejenigen, die das nicht wissen und ihren Ehrgeiz auf irdische Güter lenken!
~ George Sand
Le plus heureux des hommes serait celui qui, possédant la science de son labeur, et travaillant de ses mains, puisant le bien-être et la liberté dans l'exercice de sa force intelligente, aurait le temps de vivre par le cur et par le cerveau, de comprendre son uvre et d'aimer celle de Dieu.

~ George Sand
