Over the years, Joy Division has become a huge part of music culture.

The reason Joy Division and New Order are as influential and successful as they are is because of the unique playing of all the individuals.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

Joy is not the result of getting what you want; it is the way to get what you want. In the deepest sense, joy is what you want.

Joy comes from places you least expect it. It's usually the simple things, like watching my son play basketball or going through Central Park when the blossoms are blooming.

Joy is the serious business of Heaven.

Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.

The thing with Joy Division's music is that each member was playing like a separate line. We hardly ever played together; we all played separately. But when you put it together, it was like the ingredients in a cake.

I read one too many books about Joy Division by people who weren't there, and they always seem to dwell on the dark, the intense, the miserable image of Joy Division.
