Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.

About This Quote

To be happy, you need to take advantage of every moment. You must seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved. You do not have to go through life alone, you have to go through life with someone else. When you are with someone else, you will know what they feel for you.

When you are alone, there is no one to tell you what you feel for them. There is no one who will understand your feelings for them. If there is no one around who can understand what you feel for them, then how can you ever be happy?
