Additional quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Pero si hay un estado en el que el alma encuentra un acomodo lo bastante sólido como para descansar en él por entero y congregar todo su ser, sin tener necesidad de recordar el pasado ni exceder del porvenir; donde el tiempo no exista para ella, donde el presente dure siempre sin señalar, no obstante, su duración y si huella alguna de secuencia, sin ninguno otro sentimiento de privación o de goce, de placer o de dolor, de deseo o de temor que el de nuestra existencia, y que este sentimiento único pueda colmarla por entero; en tanto dura tal estado, quien se encuentre en él puede llamarse dichoso, no de una dicha imperfecta, pobre y relativa, tal cual se halla en los placeres de la vida, sino de una dicha suficiente, perfecta y plena que no deja en el alma ningún vacío que ésta sienta la necesidad de llenar.

Entirely taken up by the present, I could remember nothing; I had no distinct notion of myself as a person, nor had I the least idea of what had just happened to me. I did not know who I was, nor where I was; I felt neither pain, fear, nor anxiety. I watched my blood flowing as I might have watched a stream, without even thinking that the blood had anything to do with me. I felt throughout my whole being such a wonderful calm, that whenever I recall this feeling I can find nothing to compare with it in all the pleasures that stir our lives.
