Text Quotes
... life is moral responsibility. Life is several other things, we do not deny. It is beauty, it is joy, it is tragedy, it is comedy, it is psychical and physical pleasure, it is the interplay of a thousand rude or delicate motions and emotions, it is the grimmest and the merriest motley of phantasmagoria that could appeal to the gravest or the maddest brush ever put to palette; but it is steadily and sturdily and always moral responsibility  (Pleasure Quotes) How can we expect our children to know and experience the joy of giving unless we teach them that the greater pleasure in life lies in the art of giving rather than receiving  (Pleasure Quotes) In spite of what moralists say, the, animals are scarcely less wicked or less unhappy than we are ourselves. The arrogance of the strong, the servility of the weak, low rapacity, ephemeral pleasure purchased by great effort, death preceded by long suffering, all belong to the animals as they do to men  (Pleasure Quotes) At the time I begin writing a novel, the last thing I want to do is follow a plot outline. To know too much at the start takes the pleasure out of discovering what the book is about  (Pleasure Quotes) As your relationship with the music gets stronger, so does your motivation for playing it and finding different sounds. If you have the idea that you can find a colour that is better for one composer or another, even if it’s an illusion, this generates enormous pleasure  (Pleasure Quotes) If you are not in the red playroom of pain and pleasure, … shooting the movie is much like doing any other movie  (Pleasure Quotes) Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness count for something. The fun of reading is not that something is told to you, but that you stretch your mind. Your own imagination works along with the authors, or even goes beyond his, yields the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his  (Pleasure Quotes) The whole point of art, aside from the aesthetic pleasure it yields, is that it provides a bridge to the past; that seductive land where we all find certainty and consolation. Nothing quite spans this gulf with such immediacy as the art of popular song  (Pleasure Quotes) Don’t make your career be your life. let it be your passion. Let it bring you pleasure. But don’t let it become your identity. You are so much more valuable than that  (Pleasure Quotes) I’ve done a whole lot of things. I’ve had the pleasure of introducing two presidents, several senators and congressmen  (Pleasure Quotes) It is odd how we sometimes deny ourselves the very pleasure we have longed for and which is finally within our reach  (Pleasure Quotes) By the duty to be happy, I thus refer to the ideology... that urges us to evaluate everything in terms of pleasure and displeasure... on the one hand, we have to make the most of our lives; on the other, we have to be sorry and punish ourselves if we don’t succeed in doing so. This is a perversion of a very beautiful idea: that everyone has a right to control his own destiny and to improve his life  (Pleasure Quotes) I get a lot of pleasure and satisfaction out of giving pleasure to people through my singing; that’s fantastic, but it’s only entertainment  (Pleasure Quotes) The chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is unattainable. But men have attained it. And they have attained it by realizing that happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles  (Pleasure Quotes) The trouble with putting armor on is that, while it protects you from pain, it also protects you from pleasure  (Pleasure Quotes) Balance out the good things and the bad that have happened in your life and you will have to acknowledge that you are still way ahead. You are unhappy because you have lost those things in which you took pleasure? But you can also take comfort in the likelihood that what is now making you miserable will also pass away  (Pleasure Quotes) Art depends on there being affection in its creator’s life and an artist must find ways, like everyone else, to nourish it. A photographer down on his or her knees picturing a dog has found pleasure enough to make many things possible  (Pleasure Quotes) Gold, silver, jewels, purple garments, houses built of marble, groomed estates, pious paintings, caparisoned steeds, and other things of this kind offer a mutable and superficial pleasure; books give delight to the very marrow of one’s bones. They speak to us, consult with us, and join with us in a living and intense intimacy  (Pleasure Quotes) You keep thinking that with practice you will eventually get the knack of enjoying superficial encounters, that you will stop looking for the universal solvent, stop grieving. You will learn to compound happiness out of small increments of mindless pleasure  (Pleasure Quotes) Reading is a pleasure, but to finish reading, to come to the blank space at the end, is also a pleasure  (Pleasure Quotes) The films an audience really enjoys are the ones that were enjoyable in the making. Yet pleasure in the work can’t be achieved unless you know you have put all of your strength into it and have done your best to make it come alive. A film made in this spirit reveals the hearts of the crew  (Pleasure Quotes) Discipline brings us effort, sacrifice and suffering. Later it brings us something of an inestimable value: something of which those who live only for pleasure, profit or amusement will always be deprived. This peculiar indefinable joy which one must have felt oneself to understand is the sign with which life marks its moment of triumph  (Pleasure Quotes) I could not help concluding this man had the most supreme pleasure while he was driven so fast and so smoothly by the sea  (Pleasure Quotes) Nothing is more satisfying than to write a good sentence. It is no fun to write lumpishly, dully, in prose the reader must plod through like wet sand. But it is a pleasure to achieve, if one can, a clear running prose that is simple yet full of surprises. This does not just happen. It requires skill, hard work, a good ear, and continued practice  (Pleasure Quotes) Whatever the reasons, I enjoyed being nude; it felt natural to me. I got the same kind of pleasure from being free of clothing that many people get from being well dressed  (Pleasure Quotes) If you let some time go by before considering work that you have done, you move toward a more objective position in judging it. The pleasure of the subjective, physical experience in the world is a more distant memory and less influential  (Pleasure Quotes) As artists, the pleasure is to really have your work resonate and mean something. Art takes its inspiration from reality  (Pleasure Quotes) It is as we respond to the understandings and feelings inherent in... art that we acquire much of our truth, much of our nobility and grace, and much of our pleasure  (Pleasure Quotes) When I entertain at home, I take time and pleasure in the small details that make all the difference. Entertaining is about giving to people and sharing with them  (Pleasure Quotes) Personally, I have been very impressed by the slow food movement. It is about celebrating the culture of food, of sharing the extraordinary knowledge, developed over millennia, of the traditions involved with quality food production, of the sheer joy and pleasure of consuming food together. Especially within the context of family life, this has to be one of the highest forms of cultural activity  (Pleasure Quotes)
