The interior life is the spiritual life. It focuses on truth and the good.

The inner life has no boundaries

There is no life more real than the interior life of the soul;

To the people who told these stories all the universe was alive with the same kind of life they knew in themselves.

Life's great happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

I have always had the joy of life, uncrushably, a sort of inner sunshine that cannot be put out.

Happy are they who live in the dream of their own existence, and see all things in the light of their own minds; who walk by faith and hope; to whom the guiding star of their youth still shines from afar, and into whom the spirit of the world has not entered! They have not been "hurt by the archers", nor has the iron entered their souls. The world has no hand on them.

A paradise of inward tranquility seems to be faith's usual result.

Extraordinary minds understand that happiness comes from within.

The interior life must be filled with grace and charity, without dissimulation, of direct intention, rich in virtue, the memory exempt from cares and solicitude, freed and detatched, entirely delivered of every image; the heart set free, open and up lifted above the Heavens; the intelligence empty and stripped of all consideration but God.

It is said that all people who are happy have God within them.

They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

At night They're seen Laughing, Loving. They know The way To be Happy.

It's possible to satisfy the needs of the inner life by an intimate communion with nature, or by knowledge of the past.
