One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)

One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
