"Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness"
- Andre Gide
About this Quote
This quote by Andre Gide speaks to the concept that our memories of previous happiness can prevent us from experiencing happiness in today. It suggests that when we concentrate on the past, we can end up being stuck in a cycle of fond memories and yearning for what once was, instead of valuing what is. This can lead to sensations of unhappiness and regret, and can avoid us from being able to experience real happiness in today. Gide's quote encourages us to let go of the past and to concentrate on the present moment, so that we can be open to the pleasure and joy that life needs to offer. By doing this, we can release ourselves from the concern of our memories and be open to the possibilities of today.
