They luxuriated in the feeling of deep and all pervading satisfaction, a feeling of knowing absolutely that all was well with the world and them and that the world was not only their oyster it was also their linguine with clam sauce. Not only were all things possible, but all things were theirs. Hubert Selby Jr.
About This Quote

The definition of luxury is being happy with what you have. A luxury is something that cannot be easily obtained. Luxury time goes beyond material wealth to include the things that are important to you. You are not rich but instead are able to afford nice things because you are successful.

All of your dreams are possible because you are wealthy. You are able to be comfortable with your life because of your success. When people think about luxury they often think of fancy cars, fancy clothes, and fancy homes.

However, the definition of luxury can also be found in a feeling of deep satisfaction or contentment.
