Pleasures Quotes

The pleasures of this world are rather from God’s goodness than our own merit Picture Quote #1

In the human species at all events there is a great diversity of pleasures. The same things delight some men and annoy others, and things painful and disgusting to some are pleasant and attractive to others Picture Quote #1

I was enthralled and moved by Azar Nafisi’s account of how she defied, and helped others to defy, radical Islam’s war against women. Her memoir contains important and properly complex reflections about the ravages of theocracy, about thoughtfulness, and about the ordeals of freedom-as well as a stirring account of the pleasures and deepening of consciousness that result from an encounter with great literature and with an inspired teacher Picture Quote #1

The joys of marriage are the heaven on earth, Life’s paradise, great princess, the soul’s quiet, Sinews of concord, earthly immortality, Eternity of pleasures Picture Quote #1

I think instead writers and publishers and readers need to go to the places where people are, and make the argument that there is great value to the quiet, contemplative process of reading a novel, that reading great books carefully offers pleasures and consolations that no iPad app ever can Picture Quote #1

What’s my guilty pleasure? The thing is, I never feel guilty about pleasures Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have guilty pleasures. Anything musically that I fully, fully believe, is good no matter who the artist is, no matter what the marketing is behind it, I stand pretty firm Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you enjoy something, there’s nothing guilty about it Picture Quote #1

People only have guilty pleasures when they crowbar pleasure down their throat all the time and then they reach for the brownies. Then you should feel guilty because you’re killing your body and that’s something to be guilty about Picture Quote #1

L.A. still ranks as one of my guilty pleasures, along with butter-pecan ice cream and Coldplay albums Picture Quote #1

I’m not a big splurger of money, but my guilty pleasures do lie within BMWs. I get roped in Picture Quote #1

I have too many responsibilities and principles. There’s no time for ‘guilty’ pleasures Picture Quote #1

Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset Picture Quote #1

Apart from my work, my greatest pleasures have been mainly out-of-doors, and although I no longer ski, I greatly enjoy walking in the mountains and leading country rambles. I am fond of music, whether light or classical, and play the piano in a self-taught way. In company, I enjoy lively, way-out discussions Picture Quote #1

The more obsessively we focus on what a particular food is going to do for us, the less healthy we’ve become. Simple pleasures become complicated Picture Quote #1
