"Why does watching a dog be a dog fill one with happiness?" ― Jonathan Safran Foer Topic(s): Happiness Tags: watching More From Jonathan Safran Foer "Writers now are putting total faith in designers at Apple and Amazon. It’s almost like a race-car driver having no input into how cars are designed." "I first became a vegetarian when I was nine, in response to an argument made by a radical babysitter. My great change – which lasted a couple of weeks – was based on the very simple instinct that it’s wrong to kill animals for food." "I’m less worried about accomplishment – as younger people always can’t help but be – and more concerned with spending my time well, spending time with my family, and reading, learning things."

The only way it could possibly be the end of history is if it becomes some sort of artificial super intelligence that takes over the world."― Sean Parker "The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity, than the discovery of a new star."― Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin "The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is to give the maximum what the man is able to give."― Alexander Alekhine
