"Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness." ― George Sand Topic(s): Happiness More From George Sand "Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius." "The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul." "Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument." More In Happiness "Sequels are very rarely a good idea, and in any case, the success of the book changed my relationship with the club in some ways."― Nick Hornby "Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness."― Conor Oberst "Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness."― Immanuel Kant
