" "The earth would be covered with men amongst whom there world would be almost no communication; we would make contact at some points without being united by a single one; everyone would remain isolated amongst the rest, everyone would think only of himself; our understanding would not develop; we would live without sensing anything, we would die without having lived; our entire happiness would consist of not knowing our misery; there would be neither goodness in our hearts, nor morality in our actions, and we would never have tasted the most delicious sentiment of the soul, which is the love of virtue.

Additional quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Çevremizde her şey değişir. Kendimiz de değişiriz ve kimse bugün sevdiğini yarın da seveceğinden emin olamaz. Böylece şu dünyayla ilgili mutluluk tasarılarımız hep ham düşlemlerdir. Gönül rahatına kavuştuğumuz zaman, zevkine varalım; kendi kusurumuzla onu kaçırmayalım; ama onu bağlamayı düşünmek de bir çılgınlıktır. Mutlu olan az kişi gördüm, belki de görmedim; ama, gönlü hoşnut kimselere sık sık rastlarım. Mutluluğumun dış belirtileri yoktur; onu keşfetmek için mutlu insanın yüreğindekini görebilmeli.
