Happy Valley

Famous quotes containing the words happy and/or valley:

    “They shall yet belie thy happy years
    That say thou art a man. Diana’s lip
    Is not more smooth and rubious; thy small pipe
    Is as the maiden’s organ, shrill and sound,
    And all is semblative a woman’s part.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
