C.S. Lewis once said:
โTo be happy at home is the end of all human endeavor. The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a person alone reading a book that interests them; and all economics, politics, laws, armies, and institutions, are only valuable in so far as they prolong and multiply such scenes.โ
Everything that is precious to me in nature โ its forms, its colours, its sounds โ passes, and what remains is the hunger to have seen it more completely.
โ Goethe
"[He measured] the frequency of positive words like joy, gratitude, hope, love, contentment. [Those] who wrote about their lives in positive emotional terms at age 22 lived an average of 10.7 years longer than [those] who wrote in neutral or negative terms." @sukh_saroy
"He measured a single linguistic feature called idea density. How many distinct ideas a writer packed into each ten words of prose. Not vocabulary. Not grammar. Not style. Just the raw informational compression of a young mind."
