About this Quote

This quote speaks to the idea that pleasure as well as delight are not something that can be intended or anticipated. They are not something that can be looked for or attained with effort.

This quote motivates us to be open to the unforeseen minutes of delight that life can bring. It reminds us to be present as well as to value the tiny moments of joy that can come our way. It is a reminder that life is full of surprises and that we need to prepare to embrace them.
