Technological society can multiply pleasure but not happiness

Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the occasions of pleasure, but finds great difficulty in giving birth to happiness. For happiness has its origin elsewhere: it is a spiritual thing.

quoted in In Conversation with God: Lent and Eastertide
