Summary

This quote emphasizes that happiness is not something external or achieved through material possessions or achievements. It suggests that happiness is a subjective experience that originates from within oneself and is influenced by the choices one makes and the mindset one adopts. Happiness is portrayed as an ongoing journey, a way of perceiving and approaching life rather than a final goal to be attained. Ultimately, it implies that happiness is within our control, a product of our thoughts and attitudes, rather than something that can be obtained outside of ourselves.

Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all.

As a former football player who has carried a football more

As a former football player who has carried a football more than 4,000 times, trust me, I did not go into ballroom dancing with my body being 100 percent, with no aches or pains or ailments coming with me.
