"The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment"
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
About this Quote
This quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge talks to the idea that true happiness in life is comprised of small moments. These minutes are frequently forgotten, but they are the ones that bring us the most happiness. A kiss or a smile, a kind appearance or a heartfelt compliment, all of these are small acts of kindness that can bring us delight. These minutes are typically neglected, however they are the ones that make life worth living. They are the minutes that make us feel connected to one another and advise us of the beauty of life. They are the minutes that make us feel liked and valued. These small minutes are the ones that make life worth living and bring us true joy.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
