Felicity Quotes

Felicity Definition

Will Arnett

Marquis de Sade

Possession without obligation to the object possessed approaches felicity.
George Meredith

That perfect bliss and sole felicity, the sweet fruition of an earthly crown.
Christopher Marlowe

The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
Samuel Johnson
