my youth, one time, that time I knew even through the nothingness, it was a celebration of something not to do but only know.
The dominant mood of contemporary American culture is the self-celebration of the peasantry.
Your closet needs to be a place of joy and celebration of who are you now - not who you were.
Religion is so focused on family. These days, for many people, being gay is also focused on family. The Mormon Church is especially focused on family, and I'd have hoped, therefore, that the Mormon Church would especially have celebrated how all of these people who might have been lonely and suicidal and childless are now able to lead this other life. I would have thought it would be a cause for immense celebration. Instead it has been, obviously, a cause of great concern to the Church and its leadership.
The arts, quite simply, nourish the soul. They sustain, comfort, inspire. There is nothing like that exquisite moment when you first discover the beauty of connecting with others in celebration of larger ideals and shared wisdom.

No one who has experienced facing a screaming, boiling, hysterical audience can avoid feeling shivers in the spine. It's a thin line between celebration and menace.
It`s not the NBA Finals, it's not even a regular-season game. It's the All-Star game, it's a celebration. A celebration of talent, speed, grace. Let`s put it on display and have some fun.
God is the ultimate experience of silence, of beauty, of bliss, a state of inner celebration.
Runners are the ultimate celebration people. Running is just so intense, you're really experiencing life to the fullest.
See the world with new eyes every day.
This criticism is ridiculous. The twenty-five hundreth anniversary celebration cost me less than the inauguration of each new president of the United States.
Dying is an integral part of life, as natural and predictable as being born. But whereas birth is cause for celebration, death has become a dreaded and unspeakable issue to be avoided by every means possible in our modern society. Perhaps it is that.
Art defies defeat by its very existence, representing the celebration of life, in spite of all attempts to degrade and destroy it.
