"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." ― Ernest Hemingway Topic(s): Happiness Tags: happiness, intelligent, people More From Ernest Hemingway "The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other." "For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can." "His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred." More In Happiness "I have discovered the secret of happiness – it is work, either with the hands or the head. The moment I have something to do, the draughts are open and my chimney draws, and I am happy."― John Burroughs "My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind – intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect."― David Herbert Lawrence "Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time."― Pablo Picasso
