Bernard Malamud described life as a tragedy full of joy. This paradox has been on my mind all night:
Joy is the simplest form of gratitude. – Karl Barth
Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough. – Emily Dickinson
Art is man’s expression of his joy in labor. – Henry A. Kissinger
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things. – William Wordsworth
