To lose one's self in reverie, one must be either very happy, or very unhappy. Reverie is the child of extremes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Reverie is when ideas float in our mind without reflection or regard of the understanding.
The contemplative life is often miserable. One must act more, think less, and not watch oneself live.
Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul.
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.
Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another.
Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.
Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.
True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.
Do anything rather than give yourself to reverie.
