Quotes About Happiness

A felicidade universal mantém as engrenagens em funcionamento regular; a verdade e a beleza são incapazes de fazê-lo.
~ Aldous Huxley
And that (...) is the secret of happiness and virtue —liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.
~ Aldous Huxley
Hay que elegir entre la felicidad y lo que la gente llamaba arte puro. Nosotros hemos sacrificado el arte puro y en su lugar hemos puesto el sensorama y el órgano de perfumes. - Pero no tienen ningún mensaje. + Si, el mensaje consiste en emitir una gran cantidad de sensaciones agradables para el público.
~ Aldous Huxley
Nunca tente compartilhar suas alegrias. As pessoas são solidárias na dor, mas não no prazer.
~ Aldous Huxley
I'd rather be myself,' he said. 'Myself and unhappy. Not somebody else, however cheerful.
~ Aldous Huxley
Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contended has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.
~ Aldous Huxley
far loro perdere la fede nella felicità come Bene Sovrano e far loro credere, viceversa, che la meta è comunque altrove, in qualche punto al di fuori della presente sfera umana; che il fine della vita non è il mantenimento del benessere, ma qualche intensificazione della coscienza, qualche accrescimento del sapere.
~ Aldous Huxley
E é evidente que a estabilidade, como espetáculo, não chega aos calcanhares da instabilidade. E o facto de se estar satisfeito não tem nada com o encanto mágico de uma boa luta contra a desgraça, nada do pitoresco de um combate contra a tentação, ou de uma derrota fatal sob os golpes da paixão ou da dúvida. A felicidade nunca é grandiosa.
~ Aldous Huxley
And that," put in the Director sententiously, "that is the secret of happiness and virtue—liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny." In

No dejes para mañana la diversión que puedes tener hoy.
~ Aldous Huxley
Universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning; truth and beauty can't. And, of course, whenever the masses seized political power, then it was happiness rather than truth and beauty that mattered.
~ Aldous Huxley
It was the sort of idea that might easily recondition the more unsettled minds among the higher castes – make them lose their faith in happiness as the Sovereign Good and take to believing, instead, that the goal was somewhere beyond, somewhere outside the present human sphere; that the purpose of life was not the maintenance of well-being, but some intensification and refining of consciousness, some enlargement of knowledge.
~ Aldous Huxley
Make for virtue and happiness, generalities are intellectually necessary evils.
~ Aldous Huxley
Lo que importaba era más la felicidad que la verdad y la belleza.
~ Aldous Huxley
That is the secret of happiness and virtue - liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny. You can't consume much if you sit still and read books. If one is different, one is bound to be lonely. Beauty is attractive and we don't want people to be attracted by old things. We want them to like the new ones.
~ Aldous Huxley
A gramme is better than a damn.
~ Aldous Huxley
Of course it does. Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of  the  picturesqueness  of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.
~ Aldous Huxley
E é aí - disse sentenciosamente o director, à guisa de contribuição ao que estava a ser dito - que está o segredo da felicidade e da virtude, gostar daquilo que se é obrigado a fazer. Tal é o fim de todo o condicionamento: fazer amar às pessoas o destino social a que não podem escapar.
~ Aldous Huxley
And that,' put in the Director sententiously, 'that is the secret of happiness and virtue—liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.
~ Aldous Huxley
Porque son los detalles, como todo el mundo lo sabe, los que conducen a la virtud y a la felicidad...

Our Ford himself did a great deal to shift the emphasis from truth and beauty to comfort and happiness. Mass production demanded the shift. Universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning; truth and beauty can't. And, of course, whenever the masses seized political power, then it was happiness rather than truth and beauty that mattered.
~ Aldous Huxley
The whole of Ireland was put on to the four-hour day. What was the result? Unrest and a large increase in the consumption of soma; that was all. Those three and a half hours of extra leisure were so far from being a source of happiness, that people felt constrained to take a holiday from them.
~ Aldous Huxley
The key of joy is disobedience.
~ Aleister Crowley
