About this Quote

This quote by Robert Quillen talks to the concept that we can find moments of happiness and peace in our everyday lives. It recommends that even in the most mundane of tasks, we can find moments of transcendence that bring us closer to an incredible state. These moments can be available in the form of an act, a thought, or a word. It might be something as easy as a kind gesture from a complete stranger, a minute of clarity in our thoughts, or a soothing word from a liked one. These moments can be short lived, but they can also be effective pointers of the appeal and pleasure that exists in the world. They can help us to value the small minutes of delight that life has to provide, and to strive for a greater state of being.
