Happy pigs and sad philosophers

It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question
John Stuart Mill's "Utilitarianism", 1863
