Contentment Quote by Jhonen Vasquez

“I've excluded happiness as one of those possibilities we seek for ourselves. Oh, I still want it, but that's beside the point. Contentment - they say it's the ultimate, but I can't even wish for that. I don't even want the desire to be content. I can only hope for silence.” quote by Jhonen Vasquez — Download Open image
