Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.
Brave new world, by Aldous Huxley

I so dig your layout that I curse myself that I don't come often to your blog...I mean H2G2 rocks the socks off any book ever written...and that quote scares me a bit but also reminds me of another I read, "Call no man happy until he is dead." Herodytus, I think.

Take care and Keep posting!

"Call no man happy until he is dead."

Morbid. But so, so true.

You're right. H2G2 rocks. I think I'll marry Marvin.
