“But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus.

It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint.... Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.”
—Thomas Carlyle (17951881)
“Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word human.”
