Gaiety Quotes
Dame Sancho would be better if she cared less. I am her barometer- if a sigh escapes me, it is answered by a tear in her eye; I oft assume a gaiety to illume her dear sensibility with a smile- which twenty years ago almost bewitched me; and mark! after twenty years enjoyment, constitutes my highest pleasure!
Ignatius Sancho
There exists, I grant you, a clinical depression, upon which certain remedies occasionally have effect; but there exists another kind, a melancholy underlying our very outbursts of gaiety and accompanying us everywhere, without leaving us alone for a single moment. And there is nothing that can rid us of this lethal omnipresence: the self forever confronting itself.
Emil Cioran
Gaiety of tone is the luminous dominant, of tint, the warm dominant, of line, lines above the horizontal
Calmness of tone is the equality of dark and light; of tint, of warm and cool, and the horizontal for line.
Sadness of tone is the dark dominant; of tint, the cool dominant, and of line, downward directions.
Georges Seurat
Let's make decisions for the good of all. Let's really think in a broader way. Let's think a little past the obvious. And in that regard I'm always shot down, I'm always called a fascist, I'm always called a homophobe, and I'm always called a freak because I'm conservative politically. But how many phony liberals in Hollywood have danced at the Gaiety? I did. And part of me understands when I'm bashed in the media, for the things that I say, because I use loose language and crude descriptions.
Vincent Gallo
