Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.
Henrik Ibsen

Conscience, that boon companion who sets a man free under the strong breastplate of innocence, that bids him on and fear not.
Dante Alighieri
-
Back to my childhood where those monsters reside. They snack on innocence and dine on self esteem.
Jimmy Buffett
-
The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time.
William Butler Yeats

I love the excitement, the childlike spirit of innocence and just about everything that goes along with Christmas.
Hillary Scott
Lady Antebellum

So much of what a pet is about for us is that it becomes a vessel for yearnings, dreams, illusions, hopes and so forth. It's a projection of the ultimate innocence and purity. That's why it's hard to see a dog in its dogness. That's why, when some harm comes to a dog, it's much harder for an audience to deal with that, more so than dealing with harm that comes to a child or anything human.
Todd Solondz
-
In my work I try to reach and speak to that innocence, showing it the fun and joy of living; showing it that laughter is healthy; showing it that the human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.
Walt Disney
-
Love. Children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open–hearted. Theyre ready for you. They dont judge. They dont see things by way of color. Theyre very child–like. Thats the problem with adults: they lose that child–like quality. And thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. Its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. And kids have it. I feel it right away from animals and children and nature. Of course.
Michael Jackson
-
We have obligations towards the innocent, the dead, towards the living, towards our children and their children.
Ricardo Lagos
-
Self-knowledge is like lost innocence; however unsettling you find it, it can never be 'unthought' or 'unknown'.
Michael Sandel
-
I forget nothing and then, one day, there will be revenge. Innocence isn't exactly everywhere. But I will say innocence also takes you far in photography.
Karl Lagerfeld
-
Puzzles are like songs - A good puzzle can give you all the pleasure of being duped that a mystery story can. It has surface innocence, surprise, the revelation of a concealed meaning, and the catharsis of solution.
Stephen Sondheim
-
A lot of children grow up in poverty with flawed parents, but their inner world is still as inherently filled with wonder and innocence as children who are kept away from the city's underbelly.
Heather O'Neill
-
It is a low thing to always want to be understood. Let my innocence take care of itself.
Blanche Willis Howard
-
If true, the Pythagorean principles as to abstain from flesh, foster innocence; if ill-founded they at least teach us frugality, and what loss have you in losing your cruelty? It merely deprives you of the food of lions and vultures...let us ask what is best - not what is customary. Let us love temperance - let us be just - let us refrain from bloodshed.
Seneca the Younger
-
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus
-
It doesn’t make sense, it’s not logical, it’s not a safe profession or a smart profession if you wanna make money or have a living or have a family. So the fact that we keep doing theatre means we’re getting something from it that is almost childlike in its innocence.
Santino Fontana
-
The issue is not whether there are horrible cases where the penalty seems "right". The real question is whether we will ever design a capital system that reaches only the "right" cases, without dragging in the wrong cases, cases of innocence or cases where death is not proportionate punishment. Slowly, even reluctantly, I have realized the answer to that question is no- we will never get it right.
