Summary

This quote suggests that the quality of happiness is more important than its duration. It implies that true happiness is not necessarily dependent on how long a positive experience lasts, but rather on how deeply or intensely it is felt. In other words, a brief moment of genuine happiness can have a significant impact and make up for the lack of a prolonged period of contentment. This quote encourages cherishing and appreciating the fleeting moments of joy as they can have a profound effect on our overall happiness.
