Quote by Voltaire

We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find it: like drunkards who look for their house, knowing dimly that they have one


We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find

Summary

This quote highlights the universal desire for happiness that exists within each of us. It illustrates the irony of seeking something so elusive without a clear understanding of where to find it. Comparing it to drunkards stumbling in search of their own homes suggests a lack of direction and awareness, as they vaguely acknowledge the existence of their house but struggle to locate it. Similarly, individuals often pursue happiness without a concrete understanding of what truly brings them joy, making it a difficult endeavor.
