• I love to go and mingle with the young
  In the gay festal room--when every heart
  Is beating faster than the merry tune,
  And their blue eyes are restless, and their lips
  Parted with eager joy, and their round cheeks
  Flush'd with the beautiful motion of the dance.

• I count my time by times that I meet thee;
  These are my yesterdays, my morrows, noons,
  And nights, these are my old moons and my new moons.
  Slow fly the hours, fast the hours flee,
  If thou art far from or art near to me:
  If thou art far, the bird's tunes are no tunes;
  If thou art near, the wintry days are Junes.

• Paris in the early morning has a cheerful, bustling aspect, a promise of delicious things to come, a positive smell of coffee and croissants, quite peculiar to itself. The people welcome a new day as if they were certain of liking it, the shopkeepers pull up their blinds serene in the expectation of good trade, the workers go happily to their work, the people who have sat up all night in night-clubs go happily to their rest, the orchestra of motor-car horns, of clanking trams, of whistling policemen tunes up for the daily symphony, and everywhere is joy.

• Letters crossing in the post, unfamiliar tunes heard three times in one day, the way that blows of fate descend upon the same bowed shoulders, and the beams of good fortune glow perpetually upon the blessed. Fairy tales, as I said, are lived out daily. There is far more going on in the world than we ever imagine.

  Fay Weldon

  A misty light is on the sea;
  The wind in the shrouds has a wintry tune,
  And the foam is flying free.

• I'm a work horse. I like to work. I always did. I think that there is such a thing as energy, creation overflowing. And I always felt that I have this great energy and it was bound to sort of burst at the seams, so that my work automatically took its place with a mind like mine. I've never had a day when I didn't want to work. I've never had a day like that. And I knew that a day I took away from the work did not make me too happy. I just feel that I'm in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I'm in the process of working. ... In my studio I'm as happy as a cow in her stall.

• If the souls of lives were voiced in music, there are some that none but a great organ could express, others the clash of a full orchestra, a few to which nought but the refined and exquisite sadness of a violin could do justice. Many might be likened unto common pianos, jangling and out of tune, and some to the feeble piping of a penny whistle, and mine could be told with a couple of nails in a rusty tin-pot.
