Quotes About Happiness

Le parecía q algunos lugares en el mundo debían producir felicidad, como una planta propia de un suelo y q no prospera en otra parte, quien pudiera asomarse al balcón de los chalets suizos o encerrar sin tristeza en una casa de campo escocesa!
~ Gustave Flaubert
Oh, to blijedo zimsko sunce! Ono je žalosno kao uspomena na sre?u.
~ Gustave Flaubert
Ali je ?ovje?je srce neiscrpljivo što se ti?e patnje; ispunjaju ga samo jedna ili dvije sre?e, a sve se bijede ?ovje?anstva mogu u njemu sastati i živjeti kao kod ku?e.
~ Gustave Flaubert
The raging desire to come to a final conclusion is one the most deadly and sterile obsessions that belong to humanity. Every religion and philosophy has made claims to its own God, to have touched the infinite, to have discovered the recipe for happiness. What pride and what emptiness! To the contrary, I see that the greatest geniuses and the greatest works don't come to final conclusions.
~ Gustave Flaubert
Frédéric pensait à la chambre qu'il occuperait là-bas, au plan d'un drame, à des sujets de tableaux, à des passions futures. Il trouvait que le bonheur mérité par l'excellence de son âme tardait à venir.
~ Gustave Flaubert.
Yes, this is the only good thing in life: love! To hold a woman you love in your arms! That is the ultimate in human happiness.
~ Guy de Maupassant
Une vie! Quelques jours et puis plus rien! On naît, on grandit, on est heureux, on attend, puis on meurt.
~ Guy de Maupassant
When the first fine spring days come, and the earth awakes and assumes its garment of verdure, when the perfumed warmth of the air blows on our faces and fills our lungs, and even appears to penetrate to our heart, we feel vague longings for undefined happiness, a wish to run, to walk at random, to inhale the spring.
~ Guy de Maupassant
perhaps, also this short embrace may infuse in their veins a little of this thrill which they would not have known without it, and will give to those two dead souls, brought to life in a second, the rapid and divine sensation of this intoxication, of this madness which gives to lovers more happiness in an instant than other men can gather during a whole lifetime.
~ Guy de Maupassant
La vie est une côte. Tant qu'on monte, on regarde le sommet, et on se sent heureux; mais, lorsqu'on arrive en haut, on aperçoit tout d'un coup la descente, et la fin, qui est la mort. Ça va lentement quand on monte, mais ça va vite quand on descend. A votre âge, on est joyeux. On espère tant de choses, qui n'arrivent jamais d'ailleurs. Au mien, on n'attend plus rien... que la mort.
~ Guy de Maupassant
She danced with rapture, with passion, intoxicated by pleasure, forgetting all in the triumph of her beauty, in the glory of her success, in a sort of cloud of happiness comprised of all this homage, admiration, these awakened desires and of that sense of triumph which is so sweet to woman's heart.
~ Guy de Maupassant
Viata este un munte. Atata timp cat urci, te uiti spre varf si esti fericit, dar cand ajungi pe creasta, zaresti dintr-odata coborasul si sfarsitul care este moartea. E foarte departe cand urci, dar e foarte aproape cand cobori.
~ Guy de Maupassant
The air of Paris is quite different from any other. There's something about it which thrills and excites and intoxicates you, and in some strange way makes you want to dance and do all sorts of other silly things. As soon as I get out of the train, it's just as if I had drunk a bottle of champagne. What a time one could have surrounded by artists! How happy those lucky people must be, the great men who have made a name in a city like Paris! What a wonderful life they have!
~ Guy de Maupassant
Life is a slope. As long as you're going up you're looking towards the top and you feel happy; but when you reach it, suddenly you can see the road going downhill and death is at the end of it all. It's slow going up but quick going down.
~ Guy de Maupassant
Whence come those mysterious influences which change our happiness into discouragement, and our self-confidence into diffidence?
~ Guy de Maupassant
Quantas vezes passamos ao lado de uma felicidade possível, sem darmos por ela, visto que não há quem possa penetrar no mistério dos pensamentos, nos abandonos secretos da vontade, nos apelos mudos da carne, em todo o desconhecido de uma alma de mulher cuja boca permanece silenciosa e o olhar impenetrável e claro?
~ Guy de Maupassant
D'où viennent ces influences mystérieuses qui changent en découragement notre bonheur et notre confiance en détresse
~ Guy de Maupassant
Iat?, la urma urmei, singurul lucru bun în via??: iubirea.S? È›ii în braÈ›e o femeie îndr?git?.Asta e marginea fericirii omeneÈ™ti!
~ Guy de Maupassant
She danced madly, ecstatically, drunk with pleasure, with no thought for anything, in the triumph of her beauty, in the pride of her success, in a cloud of happiness made up of this universal homage and admiration, of the desires she had aroused, of the completeness of a victory so dear to her feminine heart.
~ Guy de Maupassant
Pero cuando el sol desciende, una confusa alegría invade todo mi cuerpo. Me despierto, me animo. A medida que crece la sombra me siento distinto, más joven, más fuerte, más activo, más feliz. La veo espesarse, dulce sombra caída del cielo: ahoga la ciudad como una ola inaprensible e impenetrable, oculta, borra, destruye los colores, las formas; oprime las casas, los seres, los monumentos, con su tacto imperceptible.
~ Guy de Maupassant
C'est pourtant fort bête d'être joyeux, à date fixe, par décret du gouvernement.
~ Guy de Maupassant
ViaÅ£a este un povârniÅŸ.Cît urci, îi priveÅŸti vârful ÅŸi te simÅ£i fericit...
~ Guy de Maupassant
Nincs annál nagyobb boldogság, mint amikor két kéz elÅ'ször szorítja meg egymást; amikor az egyik azt kérdezi: szeretsz? S a másik azt feleli: igen, szeretlek.
~ Guy de Maupassant
Pero cuando el sol desciende, una confusa alegría invade todo mi cuerpo. Me despierto, me animo. A medida que crece la sombra me siento distinto, más joven, más fuerte, más activo, más feliz.
