About this Quote

Julie Christie's quote recommends that real joy is an uncommon occurrence on the planet we live in.

However, in the world we reside in, suffering is a typical occurrence and it is difficult to leave it. This suggests that real joy is hard to come by and is an unusual event. Christie's quote is a pointer that we should aim to find joy in our lives, even if it is hard to come by.
