Quote #7 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Individual and Happiness
“Are not necessary pleasures those of which we cannot get rid, and of which the satisfaction is a benefit to us? And they are rightly so, because we are framed by nature to desire both what is beneficial and what is necessary, and cannot help it.”
Source: "The Republic," by Plato, 360 BC, translated by Benjamin Jowett. Book 8.
