Jill Eisenstadt's comic second novel, 'Kiss Out,' is a work of such extravagant wackiness, eccentricity, and exuberance that any attempt to squeeze it into the confines of a simple plot summary seems doomed to failure and is possibly pointless.

Stephen McCauley

In 1969, when I was still living in London, I had gone with some friends to see 'Easy Rider' in a movie theater in Piccadilly Circus and had returned alone some days later to see it again. It was Jack's combination of ease and exuberance that had captured me from the moment he had come on-screen.

Anjelica Huston

Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance.

Anne Sexton

The notion of the infinite variety of detail and the multiplicity of forms is a pleasing one; in complexity are the fringes of beauty, and in variety are generosity and exuberance.

Annie Dillard

Fans love Sosa for his exuberance, for the kisses he blows to his mother, wife and four children. He is Slammin' Sammy, a fairy-tale figure rising from poverty in the Dominican Republic to the 55th floor above Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.

Bill Dedman

I call for a collective adventure in generalized joy and freely interdependent exuberance.

Bob Black

It's a lot harder to get people to 'ooh' and 'aah' over beets and carrots than it is to get them to 'ooh' and 'aah' over artichokes or asparagus, and I enjoy being able to take these humble, 'lowbrow' foodstuffs up a few notches and serve them with great exuberance.

Charlie Trotter

Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.

David Mamet

I knew the exuberance of playing before an admiring audience and hearing my secret voice.

Elia Kazan

Like his countryman, Kiefer Sutherland, Seth Rogen has a voice that's 10 years older than he is - a combination of world-weariness and exuberance, an instrument that he's mastered for specific comic shadings.

Elvis Mitchell

It has always seemed to me that a love of natural objects, and the depth, as well as exuberance and refinement of mind, produced by an intelligent delight in scenery, are elements of the first importance in the education of the young.

Frederick William Faber

Exuberance is better than taste.

Gustave Flaubert

I have a bit two overlapping personalities. I have my African half that gives me the hot blood and the warmth and the exuberance, and then I have my French side, which is quite a bit more reserved. It's not always easy to reconcile the two.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

What I love about my parents and Jamaican families is that exuberance we have, which I think is where I get my joy from, my energy and my attitude.

Jodie Turner-Smith

Caution, not exuberance, should be our fiscal motto.

John Chafee

The exuberance of democracy leads to undisciplined and disorderly conditions which are inimical to development.

Lee Kuan Yew

Conservative merchandise tends to aim at a point from a place of humor and exuberance, from Trumpy Bear to the 'Make American Great Again' hats to my own bestselling blank book 'Reasons To Vote For Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide.'

Michael J. Knowles

We were wild-eyed hippies from the late '60s. We still had the exuberance of the mind-expanding '60s - that Tolkienesque, Zeppelin, androgynous, wood nymph, forest fairy kind of innocence. It sounds stupid now, but we felt we were changing the world with music.

Nancy Wilson

What we need to understand is, one, that there are market failures; and two, that there are things like asset bubbles and irrational exuberance. There are periods of booms, bubbles, and manias. These things, if left to themselves, can lead to crashes, to busts, to panics.

Nouriel Roubini

I'd been suffering all of my life. I think comedians and artists, we do that. We know how to be the life of the party and enjoy exuberance outside of pain.

Princess Nokia

When you work with filmmakers, and it's their first film, there's an exuberance and optimism, which is quite... There's no room for being jaded. Thinking that you know it all.
