Emily Dickinson
How sweet to feel its helpless form Depending thus on me alone! And while I hold it safe and warm What bliss to think it is my own! To feel my hand so kindly prest, To know myself beloved at last, To think my heart has found a rest, My life of solitude is past! View quote
Anne Brontë
The greater the happiness that nature sets before me, the more I lament that he is not here to taste it: the greater the bliss we might enjoy together, the more I feel our present wretchedness apart. View quote
Anne Brontë
That none deserve eternal bliss I know: Unmerited the grace in mercy given, But none shall sink to everlasting woe That have not well deserved the wrath of Heaven. View quote
Anne Brontë
As one of the wealthy, with a large stake in the existing order of things, I naturally shared the apprehensions of my class. The particular grievance I had against the working classes at the time of which I write, on account of the effect of their strikes in postponing my wedded bliss, no doubt lent a special animosity to my feeling toward them.

Edward Bellamy
Sanatana dharma does not ask us to believe in a God seated on a golden throne, high above the clouds. God is not a limited being. God is all pervasive, omnipotent and omniscient. God is the Principle of Life and the Light of Consciousness within us. God, who is pure Bliss, is verily our own Self. View quote
Mata Amritanandamayi
You men do not understand the delights of a glance, of a pressure of the hand... but as for me, I swear to you that, when I listen to your voice, I feel such a deep, strange bliss that the most passionate kisses could not take its place. View quote
Mikhail Lermontov
The God of Hell should be held in loathing, contempt and scorn. A God who threatens eternal pain should be hated, not loved - cursed, not worshiped. A heaven presided over by such a God must be below the lowest hell. I want no part in any heaven in which the saved, the ransomed and redeemed will drown with shouts of joy the cries and sobs of hell - in which happiness will forget misery, where the tears of the lost only increase laughter and double bliss. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
Great art and domestic bliss are mutually incompatible. Sooner or later, you'll have to make your choice. View quote
Arthur C. Clarke
Ye are the children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. Ye divinities on earth - sinners! It is a sin to call man so; it is a standing libel on human nature. Come up, lions! and shake off the delusion that you are sheep; you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal. (Swami Vivekananda)
Ideas are only lethal if you suppress and don't discuss them. Ignorance is not bliss, it's stupid. Banning books shows you don't trust your kids to think and you don't trust yourself to be able to talk to them. View quote
Anna Quindlen
The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom. View quote
Kahlil Gibran
I have a "Task": To foster all mankind and ensure for all of them lives full of ananda (bliss). I have a "Vow": To lead all who stray away from the straight path again into goodness and save them. I am attached to a "work" that I love: To remove the sufferings of the poor and grant them what they lack. I have a "reason to be proud", for I rescue all who worship and adore me, aright. I have my definition of the "devotion" I expect: Those devoted to me have to treat joy and grief, gain and loss, with equal fortitude. This means that I will never give up those who attach themselves to me. View quote
Sathya Sai Baba
What sweeter bliss and what more blessed state Can be imagined than a loving heart, But for the torment which Man suffers, that Suspicion, sinister and deep, that smart, That aching wretchedness, that malady, That frenzied rage, which we call jealousy? View quote
Ludovico Ariosto
The weak have remedies, the wise have joys; superior wisdom is superior bliss. View quote
Edward Young
My mind to me a kingdom is, such present joys therein I find, that it excels all other bliss. View quote
Edward Dyer
My Minde to Me a Kindome Is; Such present joys therein I find, That it excels all other bliss That earth affords or grows by kind: Though much I want which most would have, Yet still my mind forbids to crave. View quote
Edward Dyer
I want the money, the women, the fortune and fame That means I end up burnin' in Hell, scorchin' in flame That means I'm stealin' your checkbook and forgin' your name This lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain. View quote
Eminem
Since it gives me so much bliss to give you everything I can The more I pay you, the more I owe. View quote
Luís de Camões
The soul has a hidden abyss, untouched by time and space, which is far superior to anything that gives life and movement to the body. Into this noble and wondrous ground, this secret realm, there descends that bliss of which we have spoken. Here the soul has its eternal abode. Here a man becomes so still and essential, so single-minded and withdrawn, so raised up in purity, and more and more removed from all things. . . .  This state of the soul cannot be compared to what it has been before, for now it is granted to share in the divine life The soul has a hidden abyss, untouched by time and space...Here the soul has its eternal abode itself. (Johannes Tauler)
Where ignorance is bliss it's foolish to borrow your neighbor's newspaper. View quote
Kin Hubbard
I am so fed up and joyless that not only have I nothing to fill my soul, I cannot even conceive of anything that could possibly satisfy it - alas, not even the bliss of heaven. View quote
Søren Kierkegaard
Ignorance is not bliss - it is oblivion. Determined ignorance is the hastiest kind of oblivion. View quote
Philip Wylie
She thought of the library, so shining white and new; the rows and rows of unread books; the bliss of unhurried sojourns there and of going out to a restaurant, alone, to eat. View quote
Maud Hart Lovelace
