“It's a cruel way to go. We know the ecstasy of winning on penalties against Manchester City and now there's the dejection of losing tonight.”
Dave Penney
“I feel an indescribable ecstasy and delirium in melting, as it were, into the system of beings, in identifying myself with the whole of nature”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Walter H. Pater
“It is through the cracks in our brains that ecstasy creeps in.”
Logan Pearsall Smith
“The traveler, however virginal and enthusiastic, does not enjoy an unbroken ecstasy. He has periods of gloom, periods when he asks himself the object of all these exertions, and puts the question whether or not he is really experiencing pleasure. At such times he suspects that he is not seeing the right things, that the characteristic, the right aspects of these strange scenes are escaping him. He looks forward dully to the days of his holiday yet to pass, and wonders how he will dispose of them. He is disgusted because his money is not more, his command of the language so slight, and his capacity for enjoyment so limited.”
Arnold Bennett
“Till the first friend dies, we think our ecstasy impersonal, but then discover that he was the cup from which we drank it, itself as yet unknown.”
Emily Dickinson
“Being a motion picture actress is the pitch of ecstasy.”
Norma Shearer
