Willa CatherThat is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.
About This Quote
In the quote, “That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.” the author is trying to explain that true happiness is not complacency but rather something that is hard-won. It's not an easy thing to define, either, because it just isn't something you can experience all of the time. It can be elusive, but when you do find it, you know it. And when you find it, you know that it's worth your while.
