The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately...

Quote by Samuel Johnson about flight, pleasure, hope, mind, objects, present, future, human imperfections, moment

The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
