A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures is not happiness; happiness resides in imaginative reflection and judgment, when the picture of one's life, or of human life, as it truly has been or is, satisfies the will, and is gladly accepted.

  • -- George Santayana 乔治·桑塔亚纳

一连串兴奋的、转瞬即逝的、杂七杂八的快乐不是幸福;幸福存在于想象的反思和判断中,当一个人的生活,或人类生活的画面,真实的过去或现在,满足了意志,并被欣然接受。
