"Why should your heart not dance?..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“To the Ancients, Friendship seemed the happiest and most fully human of all loves... The modern world in comparison, ignores it.”

“We are not the playwright, we are not the producer, we are not even the audience. We are on the stage.”

“A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. You are speaking, Hmán, as if pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing.”

“I would like to assure those who would serve Daridranarayana that there is music, art, economy and joy in the spinning wheel.”

“It is Love that gives joy to happiness.”

“Masculine exhalations are, as a rule, stronger, more vivid,more widely differentiated than those of women. In the odor of young men there is something elemental, as of fire, storm, and salt sea. It pulsates with buoyancy and desire. It suggests all the things strong and beautiful and joyous and gives me a sense of physical happiness.”

“I woke up this morning, smiled at the rising sun.”

“The animal man lives in the senses. If he does not get enough to eat, he is miserable; or if something happens to his body, he is miserable. In the senses both his misery and his happiness begin and end.”

“I commend you, however, for passing the time in as merry a manner as you possibly could; it is assuredly better to go laughing than crying thro' the rough journey of life.”
