Joy

Famous quotes containing the word joy:

“If anyone should want to know my name, I am called Leah. And I spend all my time weaving garlands of flowers with my fair hands, to please me when I stand before the mirror; my sister Rachel sits all the day long before her own, and never moves away. She loves to contemplate her lovely eyes; I love to use my hands to adorn myself: her joy is in reflection, mine in act.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

“Now no joy but lacks salt
That is not dashed with pain
And weariness and fault;”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“I that please some, try all, both joy and terror
Of good and bad, that makes and unfolds error.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
