Quote by Russell Baker

Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.

Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big

Summary

This quote suggests that happiness should not be the ultimate goal or expectation for an entire lifetime. It implies that placing too much emphasis on attaining perpetual happiness might be unrealistic or even trivial. Instead, happiness should be cherished when it is experienced in small moments or doses, recognizing the transient nature of joy and appreciating it in its fleeting instances rather than seeking it as a constant state.

At that moment, Harry fully understood for the first time why people said Dumbledore was the only wizard Voldemort had ever feared. The look upon Dumbledore's face as he stared down at the unconscious form of Mad-Eye moody was more terrible than Harry could have ever imagined. There was no benign smile upon Dumbledore's face, no twinkle in the eyes behind the spectacles. There was cold fury in every line of the ancient face; a sense of power radiated from Dumbledore as though he were giving off burning heat.
