Quote by Isabelle Eberhardt

One must never look for happiness: one meets it by the way.

One must never look for happiness: one meets it by the way.

Summary

This quote implies that happiness cannot be pursued or sought after directly, but instead comes naturally as a result of one's journey through life. It suggests that happiness is not an end goal to be chased, but rather something that is encountered along the way, perhaps in unexpected moments or through meaningful experiences. Thus, the quote encourages individuals to focus on living authentically and embracing the present, rather than obsessively searching for happiness as a destination.

They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.
