Happiness is not a potato - Charlotte Bronte

Obviously she goes more in depth but I still found it hilar

It's very funny when you isolate it like that. The full quote is -

“No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato, to be planted in mould, and tilled with manure. Happiness is a glory shining far down upon us out of Heaven. She is a divine dew which the soul, on certain of its summer mornings, feels dropping upon it from the amaranth bloom and golden fruitage of Paradise.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Villette

She uses the same idea in a letter to her publisher George Smith, and here she sounds at least a little bit facetious -

Tell your mother I shall try to cultivate good spirits as assiduously as she cultivates her geraniums. Remember me kindly to her and your sisters and believe me, sincerely yours, C. Bronte
