Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it.
Aaron Copland
The happiest day — the happiest hour
My sear'd and blighted heart hath known,
The highest hope of pride and power,
I feel hath flown.Edgar Allan Poe
What is the odds so long as the fire of soul is kindled at the taper of conwiviality, and the wing of friendship never moults a feather! What is the odds so long as the spirit is expanded by means of rosy wine, and the present moment is the least happiest of our existence!
Charles Dickens
I am told, in a dream ... you can only get the answer to all your questions through a dream. So in my dream, I fall asleep, and I dream, in my dream, that I'm having that absolute, revealing dream.
Eugene Ionesco
