About This Quote

After all, the world is indeed beautiful and if we were any other creature than man we might be constantly happy in it. It is in man's nature to feel discontent and to want more of what he already has. Even though we live in a beautiful world, we must not forget that we are constantly in need of more beauty and happiness.
