Bai Juyi
Amid the cheering of the crowds, he hardly heard his master's voice, but he saw the familiar head and shoulders, and the bright flag he was waving. He raced toward the seven-foot fence; without apparent effort he rose in the air and cleared the top with a good hand-breadth to spare; then dashed up to his master that he loved, and gamboled there and licked his hand in heart-full joy. Again the victor's crown was his, and the master, a man of dogs, caressed the head of shining black with the jewel eyes of gold.

David O. Russell
All the spring may be hidden in the single bud, and the low ground nest of the lark may hold the joy that is to herald the feet of many rose-red dawns.
Oscar Wilde
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.
Jim Rohn
You are my wine, my joy,
My garden, my springtime,
My slumber, my repose,
Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It's not a dormant. It's not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations.
Yasiin Bey
Black Star
Joy is a strength; intoxication, a weakness.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
