"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
~ A.A. Milne

~ Margaret Young

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.
