Heartache is very fertile ground for song-making but so is happiness so is absolute bliss.

Your dear baby has died innocent and blameless and has been called away by an all wise and merciful Creator most probably from a life to misery and misfortune and most certainly to one of happiness and bliss.

It was as if all of the happiness all of the magic of this blissful hour had flowed together into these stirring bittersweet tones and flowed away becoming temporal and transitory once more.

My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind - intimacy physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.

Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.

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.

Straight men just can't imagine the bliss of being in a relationship with someone who finds farting as funny as they do.

Health is the vital principle of bliss and exercise of health.

I was quite able at the insignificant work I did in MI6 but absolutely dysfunctional in my domestic life. I had no experience of fatherhood. I had no example of marital bliss or the family unit.

I envy people with dreams and passions but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.
