The one law of Art is its own spontaneity, its pleasure and freedom. How mystic, pure and simple is its wish; it has no idea of potential divinity! Decoration is its creed and vital allegory is its belief. Being the 'Free Morality,' it has no sin – then most assuredly Art is all we dare express without excuse.
~ Austin Osman Spare
The conception of "I am not" must of necessity follow the conception of "I am," because of its grammar, as surely in this world of sorrow night follows day. The recognition of pain as such, implies the idea of pleasure, and so with all ideas. By this duality, let him remember to laugh at all times, recognize all things, resist nothing; then there is no conflict, incompatibility or compulsion as such.
~ Austin Osman, Spare
The wise pleasure seeker, having realised they are "different degrees of desire" and never desirable, gives up both Virtue and Vice and becomes a Kiaist. Riding the Shark of his desire he crosses the ocean of the dual principle and engages himself in self-love.
~ Austin Osman, Spare

~ Axel Munthe
What is a demanding pleasure that demands the use of ones mind! Not in the sense of problem solving, but in the sense of exercising discrimination, judgment, awareness.
~ Ayn Rand
My motto is - if it feels good -" he grinned as he held her gaze "- then I do it.
~ B.J. Daniels
These chocolates made you close your eyes and moan and were right up there with sex. Well, not sex with Hud. Nothing could beat that.
~ B.J. Daniels
It felt like a kiss from a man whose reasons were strictly carnal. And I like it.
~ B.J. Daniels
As we experience pleasures happily, we must also learn not to lose our happiness when pain comes. As we see good in pleasure, we should learn to see good in pain. Learn to find comfort even in discomfort. We must not try to run from the pain but to move through and beyond it. This is the cultivation of tenacity and perseverance, which is a spiritual attitude toward yoga. This is also the spiritual attitude toward life.
~ B.K.S. Iyengar
Solving an equation of math gives me the same pleasure as a passionate kiss does.
~ Baba Faiz
Life in the world functions by ego, attachment and desire, which gives the rise to the idea of "likes" and "dislikes". In this way the mind starts identifying all experiences in the world in terms of opposites, such as pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat.
~ BABA HARI DAS
Nothing is pleasant which is not spiced with variety.

For arts of pleasure sensual, the chief deficience in them is of laws to repress them. For as it hath been well observed, that the arts which flourish in times while virtue is in growth, are military; and while virtue is in state, are liberal; and while virtue is in declination, are voluptuary: so I doubt that this age of the world is somewhat upon the descent of the wheel.
~ bacon francis xiii

Ever since I bought and started flying an airplane, it's been almost exclusively for business. I love to fly. It's a great joy to me. But rarely do I use it for any kind of pleasure, other than it is a pleasure to fly.
~ Arnold Palmer
Rarely do I attach guilt to something pleasant. Life's too short.
