Text Quotes
If you have always suspected your sister of an inclination to madness, it will be my pleasure to confirm your worst fears  (Pleasure Quotes) When I was supposed to be awake, I was asleep. When I was supposed to sleep, I was silent. When a pleasure offered itself to me, I avoided it  (Pleasure Quotes) No sign of pleasure greeted the announcement. The mood in the hall was leaden. My mood was livelier. Fright is livelier than lead  (Pleasure Quotes) As for history, we are living in its ruins. And as for biographies, we are living with the consequences of all the decisions ever made in them. I tend not to read them for pleasure. It’s not unlike carefully scrutinizing the map when one has already reached the destination  (Pleasure Quotes) To read is to surrender oneself to an endless displacement of curiosity and desire from one sentence to another, from one action to another, from one level of a text to another. The text unveils itself before us, but never allows itself to be possessed; and instead of trying to possess it we should take pleasure in its teasing  (Pleasure Quotes) I am astonished at the pleasure one experiences in doing good; and I should be tempted to believe that what we call virtuous people have not so much merit as they lead us to suppose  (Pleasure Quotes) Materialism, attachment to things of the world, includes pride. Many religious people suffer from pride: taking pleasure or even delight in being good, or religious  (Pleasure Quotes) Pain, pleasure and death are no more than a process for existence. The revolutionary struggle in this process is a doorway open to intelligence  (Pleasure Quotes) What’s the good of these great fragile fits of enthusiasm, these jaded jumps of joys? We know nothing anymore, but the dead stars; we gaze at their faces; and we gasp with pleasure. Our mouths are dry as the lost beaches, and our eyes turn aimlessly and without hope. Now all that remain are these cafés where we meet to drink these cool drinks, these diluted spirits, and the tables are stickier than the pavements where our shadows of the day before have fallen  (Pleasure Quotes) There are some people who cannot help giving. Why? Because they experience a real psychological pleasure in doing so. They don’t do it with an eye to their own advantage, they do it on the quiet; they detest doing it openly because that would take away some of the satisfaction. They do it in secret, with quick trembling hands, their breasts rocked by a spiritual well being which they do not themselves understand  (Pleasure Quotes) And then they would watch her closely as the dark, coagulated masses took form before her eyes, became flesh and bone, became gradually human. For all their show of reluctance, she had a sense that they enjoyed introducing her to these horrors, as seducers took pleasure in the corruption of innocence  (Pleasure Quotes) He liked to read with the silence and the golden color of the whiskey as his companions. He liked food, people, talk, but reading was an inexhaustible pleasure. What the joys of music were to others, words on a page were to him  (Pleasure Quotes) Book readers are special people, and they will always turn to books as the ultimate pleasure. Those who do not read are the unfortunate ones. There’s nothing wrong with them; but they are missing out on one of life’s compensations and rewards. A great book is a friend that never lets you down. You can return to it again and again and the joy first derived from it will still be there  (Pleasure Quotes) The work, the work, the work. This is what the business is all about. This is the fun, the glory, the pleasure. It’s the only true measure of an agency. In the absence of great work, nothing else matters  (Pleasure Quotes) Let every family meet once a day or week for a real hearty sing, and their sing will give them more pleasure than they will take all the rest of the day  (Pleasure Quotes) The pleasure of doing a thing in the same way at the same time every day, and savoring it, should be noted  (Pleasure Quotes) Writing a novel is like making love, but it’s also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it’s like making love while having a tooth pulled  (Pleasure Quotes) The human being receives the pleasure from music, not from the argument over what it is  (Pleasure Quotes) Remember, writing poetry is like making love: one will never know whether one’s own pleasure is shared  (Pleasure Quotes) By the law of nature, there is no pleasure in suffering; but divine love, when it reigns in a heart, makes it take delight in its sufferings  (Pleasure Quotes) The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure  (Pleasure Quotes) In today’s world, when many of yesterday’s fashionable habits are today’s misdemeanors, we should rejoice that a chocolate dessert can bring so much innocent pleasure  (Pleasure Quotes) In my work I now have the comfortable feeling that I am so to speak on my own ground and territory and almost certainly not competing in an anxious race and that I shall not suddenly read in the literature that someone else had done it all long ago. It is really at this point that the pleasure of research begins, when one is, so to speak, alone with nature and no longer worries about human opinions, views and demands. To put it in a way that is more learned than clear: the philological aspect drops out and only the philosophical remains  (Pleasure Quotes) Nothing will ever equal that moment of joyous excitement which filled my whole being when I felt myself flying away from the earth. It was not mere pleasure; it was perfect bliss. Escaped from the frightful torments of persecution and of calumny, I felt that I was answering all in rising above all  (Pleasure Quotes) Catching a fly ball is a pleasure, but knowing what to do with it after you catch it is a business  (Pleasure Quotes) Ungrateful people breed negativity. No one gets any pleasure from giving to an ungrateful person. When you show appreciation, the object of your attention blossoms and flourishes  (Pleasure Quotes) On a moonlit night, after a snowfall, or under cherry blossoms, it adds to our pleasure if, while chatting at our ease, we bring forth the wine cups  (Pleasure Quotes) They set great store by their gardens... Their studie and deligence herein commeth not only of pleasure, but also of a certain strife and contention... concerning the trimming, husbanding, and furnishing of their gardens; everye man or his owne parte  (Pleasure Quotes) There’s no way to explain, but all the pleasure is worth all the pain  (Pleasure Quotes) The educated man had throughout the ages found a way to covert passionate activity into silent and motionless pleasure. He can sit still in a room and not perish  (Pleasure Quotes)
