Quote from Willa Cather, My Ántonia
That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.

Quote from Willa Cather, My Ántonia
I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.
