If by happiness you mean ecstasy ... Yes, I've known ecstasy, and it's a blessing to be able to say it because those who can say it are very few. But ecstasy doesn't last long and is seldom if ever repeated.
Indira Gandhi
Image
If by happiness you mean instead an ordinary contentment, then yes - I'm fairly contented. Not satisfied - contented.
