It's good to be just plain happy; it's a little better to know that you're
happy; but to understand that you're happy and to know why and how, in what
way, because of what concatenation of events or circumstances, and still be
happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well, that is beyond happiness
-- that is bliss, and if you have any sense you ought to kill yourself on the
spot and be done with it.
-- Henry Miller, "The Colossus of Maroussi"
