Quote by Oscar Wilde

When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy.

When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good,

Summary

This quote suggests that happiness and goodness are not always interconnected. It implies that when we are happy, we tend to be in a positive and morally upright state of mind, reflected by our actions. However, being good does not guarantee that we will always experience happiness. This implies that despite striving to do the right thing, external circumstances or inner struggles can sometimes prevent us from achieving happiness. Hence, the quote highlights the complex relationship between happiness and goodness and acknowledges that they do not always coexist harmoniously.

Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself. Even on the level of simple physical sensation and mood, making love surely resembles having an epileptic fit at least as much as, if not more than, it does eating a meal or conversing with someone.

Utopias are presented for our inspection as a critique of the human state. If they are to be treated as anything but trivial exercises of the imagination. I suggest there is a simple test we can apply. We must forget the whole paraphernalia of social description, demonstration, expostulation, approbation, condemnation.
