Quote by George Bernard Shaw, Candida, Ac

You have no more right to consume happiness without producing it, than you do to consume wealth without producing it.

You have no more right to consume happiness without producin

Summary

This quote highlights the concept of balance and responsibility when it comes to happiness and wealth. It suggests that just as one can't expect to accumulate wealth without putting in the effort to earn it, one should also not expect to experience happiness without contributing to its creation. It implies that happiness is not merely a passive state to be achieved or consumed, but rather an active process that requires active participation and contribution. It encourages individuals to be accountable for their own happiness and reminds them that it cannot be solely dependent on external factors or passive consumption.

I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift

I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.'

How could you tell how much of it was lies? It might be true

How could you tell how much of it was lies? It might be true that the average human being was better off now than before the Revolution. The only evidence to the contrary was the mute protest in your own bones, the instinctive feeling that the conditions you lived in were intolerable and that at some other time they must have been different. It struck him that the truly characteristic thing about modern life was not its cruelty and insecurity, but simply its bareness, its dinginess, its listlessness. Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the Party was trying to achieve. Great areas of it, even for a party member, were neutral and nonpolitical, a matter of slogging through dreary jobs, fighting for a place on the Tube, darning a worn-out sock, cadging a saccharine tablet, saving a cigarette end. The ideal set up by the Party was something huge, terrible, and glittering--a world of steel and concrete, of monstrous machines and terrifying weapons--a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting--three hundred million people all with the same face.
