Happiest

Famous quotes containing the word happiest:

“A good story is one that isn’t demanding, that proceeds from A to B, and above all doesn’t remind us of the bad times, the cardboard patches we used to wear in our shoes, the failed farms, the way people you love just up and die. It tells us instead that hard work and perseverance can overcome all obstacles; it tells lie after lie, and the happy ending is the happiest lie of all.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)

“Perhaps the happiest moment of my life was then, when I saw that our line didn’t break and that the enemy’s did.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Parenthesis-proud, bracket-bold, happiest with hyphens,
The writers stagger intoxicated by terms,
adjective-unsteadied—”
—Anthony Brode (b. 1923)
