Adjust Quote by Jean-Michel Jarre
“In a lifetime, you can say, yes, you have instances of pleasure, of happiness, you like some of your work, but your work is the entire story, and if you are not satisfied with a few moments of a few parts of that story, you would like to be able to adjust that.”

![“I can't help feeling that people ask too much [of life]. They don't keep up with the Joneses any more--they outstrip them. What people call happiness, today, isn't happiness. It's enjoyment. It's pleasure. And between happiness and pleasure there's a very large gap.” quote by Elizabeth Cadell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/886/elizabeth-cadell-75185_happiness_i-can-t-help-feeling-that-people-ask-too_565930.jpg)
