Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.

Summary

This quote suggests that happiness should not be the sole focus or ultimate end goal in life. Instead, it argues that happiness is a natural outcome or by-product of engaging in activities and pursuing goals that bring fulfillment, meaning, and purpose. Happiness should be seen as a result of living a life aligned with one's values and passions, rather than being treated as a separate objective to chase after. By focusing on personal growth, relationships, and pursuing what brings joy and fulfillment, happiness will naturally emerge as a by-product of a well-lived life.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subs

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music.

Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?
