“Joy doesn't exist out in the world somewhere. Joy is an inside job.”
“The good life doesn't knock on the door. Joy is a job.”
“In the three minutes it takes the song to play I'm caught in a magic world of harmony and joy, a truly ecstatic joy, where the aching longing to be somewhere else, out of this city, out of this country, out of this body and out of this life, is kept at bay.”
“Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”
“Be still, and the world is bound to turn herself inside out to entertain you. Everywhere you look, joyful noise is clanging to drown out quiet desperation.”
“Joy is a marvelous increasing of what exists, a pure addition out of nothingness.”
