Exuberance.

A tragic sense of life ... such a sense doesn’t force us into a somber cone of depression and futility; it urges the opposite. The tragic sense opens a human being to the exuberant joys of the present. To laughter, carnality, the comical varieties of love, to music and art, to the small human glories of the day.

- Pete Hamill

"Happy"



An object of insatiable interest, the example of the riddle of life, created, as it were, to reveal the human being to man himself, displaying his richness and complexity in a thousand kaleidoscopic possibilities, each of them brought to some curious end, to some characteristic exuberance.

- Bruno Schulz

"Honky Tonk Women"



Exuberance is beauty.
