Quote of the Day - Édouard Schuré (French Author)


"Modern man seeks pleasure without happiness, happiness without knowledge, and knowledge without wisdom."

Well I guess we all should look within to findout where we are heading. Yes we all want that elusive happiness but the irony is, unfortunately we don’t try to find this within us. We prefer to wonder around at lengths and beg for an answer with strangers, the so-called preachers, swamis, the astrologers and what not. But Mr. Édouard Schuré has summed it up so well. I thank him for this beautiful quote, which is nothing but “Our Plight in a Nutshell”. He teases us with his quote and points to what we don’t have in our personal libraries filled with scholarly creations and treasures of knowledge and technology , “Life in a Nutshell”.
