““Happiness is more ephemeral than thought. It can't be observed without changing its nature. Its ingredients are subtle and there is no guarantee that a formula or recipe for joy can be written out or passed on or even repeated once again. Happiness evades capture, dissolving like a melody into the air, eluding even the most delicate, careful grasp. It frustrates any systematic search, responding better to random fossicking and oblique approaches, and it's rewards are infuriatingly arbitrary, stingy or abundant by purest chance.””
