The soul of sweet delight, can never be defiled.
William Blake
Image
What delights, what pleasures does your life offer you that outweigh the raptures of death?
Novalis
Image
Beer, well respected and rightly consumed, can be a gift of God. It is one of his mysteries, which it was his delight to conceal and the glory of kings to search out. And men enjoy it to mark their days and celebrate their moments and stand with their brothers in the face of what life brings.
Stephen Mansfield
Image
Beauty is for the artist something outside all orders of rank, because in beauty opposites are tamed the highest sign of power, namely power over opposites moreover, without tension: - that violence is no longer needed: that everything follows, obeys, so easily and so pleasantly - that is what delights the artist's WILL TO POWER.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To withdraw from creatures and repose with Jesus in the Tabernacle is my delight there I can hide myself and seek rest. There I find a life which I cannot describe, a joy which I cannot make others comprehend, a peace such as is found only under the hospitable roof of our best Friend.
Ignatius of Loyola
Image
Nothing pleases people more than to go on thinking what they have always thought, and at the same time imagine that they are thinking something new and daring: it combines the advantage of security and the delight of adventure.
T. S. Eliot
Image
Close interaction with farmers and scientists can expose the chef to new flavours that can be used to delight diners.
Rene Redzepi
Image
And here we must narrowly watch ourselves, seeing that banquets can scarcely be celebrated blamelessly, for almost always luxury accompanies feasting and when the body is swallowed up in the delight of refreshing itself, the heart relaxes to empty joys.
Pope Gregory I
Image
Words borrowed of Antiquity do lend a kind of Majesty to style, and are not without their delight sometimes. For they have the authority of years, and out of their intermission do win to themselves a kind of grace-like newness. But the eldest of the present, and newest of the past Language, is the best.
Ben Jonson
Image
Tragedy delights by affording a shadow of the pleasure which exists in pain.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
The process of producing a project is one long string of delight and anxiety, but I think the real thrill of animation would have to be drawing the pictures.
Mamoru Hosoda
Image
We had little or no emotion. We lacked the capacity to feel fear, to experience love, to enjoy the sensations of happiness and delight.The finest warriors are not only those who do not fear, but those who are without anger.
Michael Scott
Image
To work for delight and authentic festivity is barely distinguishable from preparing for a general insurrection
Raoul Vaneigem
Image
I think most of us look at personal delights as somewhere between minimally important and borderline immoral. We like them, but we're not sure we ought to. We seldom give them a high priority when other demands are competing for our attention. Nevertheless, the soul feeds on simple joys and withers without them.
Victoria Moran
Image
The applause is a celebration not only of the actors but also of the audience. It constitutes a shared moment of delight.
John Charles Polanyi
Image
Life has loveliness to sell, / Music like a curve of gold, / Scent of pine trees in the rain, / Eyes that love you, arms that hold, / And for your spirit's still delight, / Holy thoughts that star the night.
Sara Teasdale
Image
The human mind delights in finding pattern—so much so that we often mistake coincidence or forced analogy for profound meaning. No other habit of thought lies so deeply within the soul of a small creature trying to make sense of a complex world not constructed for it.
Stephen Jay Gould
Image
Gold, silver, jewels, purple garments, houses built of marble, groomed estates, pious paintings, caparisoned steeds, and other things of this kind offer a mutable and superficial pleasure books give delight to the very marrow of one's bones. They speak to us, consult with us, and join with us in a living and intense intimacy.
Petrarch
Image
Some people insist that mediocre is better than best. They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
What I hope is that the book [Bink & Gollie] delights children. What I hope is that they laugh and laugh and laugh, just as we did when we wrote them.
Kate DiCamillo
Image
Taking delight in random encounters that come our way is a wonderful reminder that God is in control.
Mel Lawrenz
Image
What matters is not your outward appearance. . . but your inner disposition. Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle gracious kind that God delights in.
Saint Peter
Image
Something of the child's pure delight in creation survives in every true work of art.
Roger Scruton
Image
Have you not seen that in our days Of any whose story, song or art Delights us, our sincerest praise Means, when all's said, 'You break my heart?
C. S. Lewis
