Delights Quotes

I look upon the pleasure we take in a garden as one of the most innocent delights in human life Picture Quote #1

Wisdom delights in water; love delights in hills. Wisdom is stirring; love is quiet. Wisdom is merry; love grows old Picture Quote #1

I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all the extraneous delights should be withheld or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give Picture Quote #1

There is nothing beginning nor end to the imagination but it delights in its own seasons reversing the usual order at will Picture Quote #1

For just as some women are said to be handsome though without adornment, so this subtle manner of speech, though lacking in artificial graces, delights us Picture Quote #1

Man has imagined a heaven, and has left entirely out of it the supremest of all his delights... sexual intercourse!... His heaven is like himself: strange, interesting, astonishing, grotesque. I give you my word, it has not a single feature in it that he actually values Picture Quote #1

Had I known that the heart breaks slowly, dismantling itself into unrecognizable plots of misery... had I known yet I would have loved you, your brash and insolent beauty, your heavy comedic face and knowledge of sweet delights, but from a distance I would have left you whole and wholly for the delectation of those who wanted more and cared less Picture Quote #1

The solitary and thoughtful stroller finds a singular intoxication in this universal communion. The man who loves to lose himself in a crowd enjoys feverish delights that the egoist locked up in himself as in a box, and the slothful man like a mollusk in his shell, will be eternally deprived of. He adopts as his own all the occupations, all the joys and all the sorrows that chance offers Picture Quote #1

As to the mouth, it delights at times in laughter; it is disposed to impart all that the brain conceives; though I daresay it would be silent on much the heart experiences. Mobile and flexible, it was never intended to be compressed in the eternal silence of solitude: it is a mouth which should speak much and smile often, and have human affection for its interlocutor Picture Quote #1

Sorrow, terror, anguish, despair itself are often the chosen expressions of an approximation to the highest good. Our sympathy in tragic fiction depends on this principle; tragedy delights by affording a shadow of the pleasure which exists in pain. This is the source also of the melancholy which is inseparable from the sweetest melody. The pleasure that is in sorrow is sweeter than the pleasure of pleasure itself Picture Quote #1

I believe myself that romantic love is the source of the most intense delights that life has to offer. In the relation of a man and woman who love each other with passion and imagination and tenderness, there is something of inestimable value, to be ignorant of which is a great misfortune to any human being Picture Quote #1

We have no adequate conception of the perfection of the ancient tragic dance. The pleasure which the greeks received from it had for its basis difference; and the more unfit the vehicle, the more lively was the curiosity and intense the delights at seeing the difficulty overcome Picture Quote #1

Left to herself, nature is always more or less civilized, and delights in a certain refinement; but where the axe has encroached upon the edge of the forest, the dead and unsightly limbs of the pine, which she had concealed with green banks of verdure, are exposed to sight Picture Quote #1

Arms observe no bounds; nor can the wrath of the sword, once drawn, be easily checked or stayed; war delights in blood Picture Quote #1

I’m having a glorious old age. One of my greatest delights is that I have outlived most of my opposition Picture Quote #1

Hypocrisy, of course, delights in the most sublime speculations; for, never intending to go beyond speculation, it costs nothing to have it magnificent Picture Quote #1

For the game is everlasting only insofar as we keep returning to it for delights put into it by countless boys of all ages Picture Quote #1

You look at any poetic creature: muslin, ether, demigoddess, millions of delights; then you look into the soul and find the most ordinary crocodile! Picture Quote #1

So, damocles, since this life delights you, do you wish to taste it yourself and make trial of my fortune? Picture Quote #1

The fraud delights my soul, and if he is big and clever and conceals his fraudulence for years, I am all the more impressed and entertained by his achievement Picture Quote #1

To the untraveled, territory other than their own familiar heath is invariably fascinating. Next to love it is the one thing that solaces and delights Picture Quote #1

He who draws noble delights from the sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life Picture Quote #1

A friend is he who sets his heart upon us, is happy with us and delights in us; does for us what we want, is willing and fully engaged to do all he can for us, on whom we can rely in all cases Picture Quote #1

Enjoy thankfully any happy hour heaven may send you, nor think that your delights will keep till another year Picture Quote #1

When a woman starts talking about her duty, her regard for appearances, and her respect for religion, she raises so many bulwarks which she delights to see captured by storm Picture Quote #1

Love delights in paradoxes. Saddest when it has most reason to be gay, sighs are the signs of its deepest joy, and silence is the expression of its yearning tenderness Picture Quote #1

Gold delights to walk through the very midst of the guard, and to break its way through hard rocks, more powerful in its blow than lightning Picture Quote #1

We are so presumptuous that we would wish to be known by all the world, even by people who shall come after, when we shall be no more; and we are so vain that the esteem of five or six neighbors delights and contents us Picture Quote #1
