From www.dabase.net/dualsens.htm Also What To Remember To Be Happy at: www.dabase.net/happytxt.htm Two other quotes from the same author: "Happiness is the Conscious Light of the World" "Happiness is the now-and-forever Mystery that is the Real Heart and the Only Real God of every one" I quite like this quote:

Like Ken, I think Mill was on the right track. People who look for happiness induced by chemical means should check out the rather different uses of psychoactive substances in Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's 1984. There is an Australian version of the Gutenberg project which provides online access to things like Brian Penton's forgotten novel on the early pastoralists and other things that are out of copyright.
