Josef Pieper, Happiness & Contemplation, St. Agustine’s Press. South Bend, 1998,
- We want happiness by nature (20)
- The ultimate gratification of human nature, the ultimate satiation of man's deepest thirst, takes place in contemplation! (18)
- Happiness can virtually be defined as the epitome of those things which the will is incapable of not willing (21)
