“Life is sweet when you pay attention. When it doesn't seem sweet, put a sticker on your nose and do a funky dance.”
“Welcome to the real world, Scott. The sweet things in life don’t seem so sweet when you have to roll up your sleeves and fix the greasy machines that make them, do they?”
“Life is sweet or bitter depending on where your attention is, at that moment.”
“And they are unjust to us often, for when they find life bitter they blame us for it, and when they find it sweet we do not taste its sweetness with them.”
“...poetry is paying attention to life when all the world seems asleep to its beauties and truths...”
“It is sweet to dance to violinsWhen love and life are fair:To dance to flutes, to dance to lutesIs delicate and rare: But it is not sweet with nimble feet To dance upon the air!”
