Arete: A Journey of Memory
by
E.B. Doctorow (Goodreads Author)
Happiness is a function of understanding oneself, of knowing one so deeply and introspectively that one could not be mistaken for another: of not lying to oneself or pretending one is anyone different. It entails confidence but not hubris; it is embracing of relationships, not avoidant of them.

It was touch, prayer, communion of hands, laughter, crying, hugging, embracing, loving. Love. Who had loved as they did?
