Takashi Miike We have this desire for that balance between death and life or death and joy. We want to believe that something we can also have. – Takashi Miike

T E Lawrence The desert Arab found no joy like the joy of voluntarily holding back. He found luxury in abnegation, renunciation, self restraint. He made nakedness of the mind as sensuous as nakedness of the body. He saved his own soul, perhaps, and without danger, but in a hard selfishness. – T E Lawrence
Sylvia Earle I’ve had the joy of spending thousands of hours under the sea. I wish I could take people along to see what I see, and to know what I know. – Sylvia Earle
Swami Sivananda Meditation is painful in the beginning but it bestows immortal Bliss and supreme joy in the end. – Swami Sivananda

Suzy Menkes When I look at my clothes, I think of them as an expression of the joy and fun of fashion – with a bit of English eccentricity thrown in. – Suzy Menkes
Susanna Hoffs That was the big lesson for all of us. Everything was going great on paper, but we all became miserable because we were so caught up in the machinery of how you make that happen, it took away the sheer joy. – Susanna Hoffs
Susan Vreeland I write about art out of gratitude to painters for the joy and spiritual uplift they have given me. Painters interpret for us the visual glories of God and, in this way, bring us closer to Him. – Susan Vreeland
