“Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.”– George Orwell Related Quotes “If you asked somebody, ‘what do you wish for in life?’ they wouldn’t say ‘happiness.’ I would have answered ‘excitement, knowledge,’ God knows – I mean, many, many different things, but certainly not ‘happiness’. It seemed like a foreign concept to wish for something that specific and that singular.”– Connie Nielsen “Happiness is obsolete: uneconomic.”– Theodor Adorno “A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.”– Stendhal
