“Happiness always has an object... Depends on external things. Joy... Has no object. It seizes you for no apparent reason, it's like the sun, its burning is fueled by its own heart.” HeartReasonJoySunObjectsDependsBurning Author:Susanna Tamaro
“You know, that's what I've regretted the most, that joy. Of course, later there were times when I felt happy, but happiness is to joy what an electric light bulb is to the sun. Happiness always has an object, you're happy because of something, it's a condition whose existence depends on external things. Joy, on the other hand, has no object. It seizes you for no apparent reason; it's like the sun- its burning is fueled by its own heart.” KnowsHeartReasonHandsLightJoyCoursesFeltExistenceSunConditionsObjectsDependsBurningElectricBulbsLight BulbElectric Light Author:Susanna Tamaro
