what does this quote mean?

I call it Joy, which is here a technical term and must be sharply distinguished both from Happiness and Pleasure. Joy (in my sense) has indeed one characteristic, and one only, in common with them; the fact that anyone who has experienced it will want it again… I doubt whether anyone who has tasted it would ever, if both were in his power, exchange it for all the pleasures in the world. But then Joy is never in our power and Pleasure often is.

Probably some bs but it’s hard to tell out of context. Is it a work of fiction, self help, Facebook meme? Might be able to figure it out with a idea of context.
