The purest human joy will reach us through friendship, and without joy we cannot live. Just as supernatural friendship cannot be contemplated without the reality of a normal human friendship, so also, I am convinced, we must begin again to learn to value simple joys. There are pleasures and there is joy. Pleasures may be renounced; moral health bestowed by joy may not. Giving up some human satisfactions must not also mean giving up joy.
René Voillaume LBJ (1905–2003)
