elated QUOTES

1 " These fucking women really piss me off,' April said. 'Because instead of being elated by the thought of making their own happiness and chasing some crazy dream, all they want to do is narrow their options and do something safe. "

― J. Courtney Sullivan , Commencement

2 " In peace we play and freedom ring,
Now let us enjoy a mantra to sing,
Down here we know that today
Elated it's a really sunny day,
Play: It's Independence Day!
Ensure you celebrate with joyful thought
Never forget that for freedom we fought
Dance and sing we never forgot
Erase all doubts of what we got.
Now it's time to celebrate,
Chant hymns and vibrate!
Expectations must be met.

Don't give up and don't forget.
As sometimes it's the only way
Yield for freedom, learn to play. "

― Ana Claudia Antunes , ACross Tic

3 " It's about loving you so much that it makes me feel miserable and elated at the same time. It's about needing you so much that I feel like I can't breathe without you. "

― Nely Cab , Fruit of Misfortune (Creatura, #2)

4 " Although not a very old man, I have yet lived a great deal in my life, and I have known sorrow too bitter and joy too keen to allow me to become either cast down or elated for more than a very brief period over any success or defeat. "

― Theodore Roosevelt

5 " Anything that tends to make us elated is inevitably going to throw us into depression. "

― Eknath Easwaran , The End of Sorrow (The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living, #1)

6 " Emma felt frightened, apprehensive, yes, but also elated and excited, her feelings all tumbled and mixed together like a stew of varied ingredients tossed into the same pot. She was aware of the blood coursing through her veins, the beat of her heart, the breath in her lungs. Was aware, too, of that clenched knot that hung in the pit of her stomach. This was what it was to be alive, to be at the edge, facing survival eye to eye, knowing, KNOWING, you would win. "

― Helen Hollick , The Forever Queen (Saxon #2)

7 " When a man’s face contorts in bitterness and hatred, he looks a little insane. When his mood changes from elated to assaultive in the time it takes to turn around, his mental stability seems open to question. When he accuses his partner of plotting to harm him, he seems paranoid. It is no wonder that the partner of an abusive man would come to suspect that he was mentally ill.
Yet the great majority of my clients over the years have been psychologically “normal.” Their minds work logically; they understand cause and effect; they don’t hallucinate. Their perceptions of most life circumstances are reasonably accurate. They get good reports at work; they do well in school or training programs; and no one other than their partners—and children—thinks that there is anything wrong with them. Their value system is unhealthy, not their psychology. "

― Lundy Bancroft , Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men

8 " I was simultaneously elated and depressed, a common enough state of mind these days when people are offered a great deal of money to do something repugnant. "

― James Hamilton-Paterson , Cooking with Fernet Branca (Gerald Samper, #1)

9 " God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it. "

10 " Never elated while one man's oppress'd Never dejected while another's bless'd. "

11 " To find the universal elements enough to find the air and the water exhilarating to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. "

12 " If fortune favors you do not be elated if she frowns do not despond. "
