 A joyful quote from John  Keats (1819):  "Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know." 

And another from Edgar Degas (late 19th century):  "A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy...”

And from Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957): "There are three ingredients to the good life - learning, earning, and yearning."
