Quote by Marquis de Sade

Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization.

Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the man

Summary

This quote suggests that happiness does not solely depend on engaging in virtuous or vice-filled actions. Instead, it lies in how we perceive and value both of these aspects of life, and ultimately, the choices we make based on our personal disposition. It implies that each individual has their own unique contentment, which is shaped by their perspective, appreciation, and decisions influenced by their individual nature. Happiness, therefore, is subjective and determined by the way we perceive and respond to different situations and choices in life.
