1 " It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life "
― Henrik Ibsen , Ghosts
2 " As Venus within Eros does not really aim at pleasure, so Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise... For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms. "
― C.S. Lewis , The Four Loves
