Quotes About Pleasure

Woe to the man, as to the woman, who has left no desire unsatisfied! All is over then.
~ Honore de Balzac
El mundo se contenta con muecas, se satisface con lo que da, sin comprobar su calidad; para él, el verdadero dolor es un espectáculo, una especie de goce que le inclina a absolverlo todo, incluso a un criminal; en su avidez de emociones, indulta sin discernimiento lo mismo al que le hace reír que al que le hace llorar, sin pedirle cuenta de los medios.

I, and I only, am to blame for all their sins; I spoiled them. To-day they are as eager for pleasure as they used to be for sugar-plums. When they were little girls I indulged them in every whim. They had a carriage of their own when they were fifteen. They have never been crossed. I am guilty, and not they—but I sinned through love.
~ Honore de Balzac
Se mai uitase o dat? la poetul r?pus de pl?ceri, se îmb?tase f?r? s? se sature de iubirea cea nobil?, care unea sim?urile cu inima ?i inima cu sim?urile, ca s? le ridice în înaltul cerului împreun?. Divinizarea aceasta, care face s? fim doi pe p?mânt ca s? sim?im, ?i unul singur în cer ca s? iubim, însemna pentru dânsa iertarea p?catelor.
~ Honore de Balzac
Were it not for the cabarets, would not the Government be overturned every Tuesday? Happily, by Tuesday, this people is glutted, sleeps off its pleasure, is penniless, and returns to its labor, to dry bread, stimulated by a need of material procreation, which has become a habit to it.
~ Honore de Balzac
Is it thus with all our pleasures? Is suspense always better than enjoyment? Hope than fruition? Is it the rich who in very truth are the poor? Have we not both perhaps exaggerated feeling by giving to imagination too free a rein? There are times when this thought freezes me. Shall I tell you why? Because I am meditating another visit to the bottom of the garden — without Griffith. How far could I go in this direction?
~ Honore de Balzac
Pleasure being caused by the union of sensation and sentiment, we can say without fear of contradiction that pleasures are a sort of material ideas.
~ Honore de Balzac
Love is the most melodious of all harmonies and the sentiment of love is innate. Woman is a delightful instrument of pleasure, but it is necessary to know its trembling strings, to study the position of them, the timid keyboard, the fingering so changeful and capricious which befits it.
~ Honore de Balzac
sense of safety was tingling in his veins like a generous wine

~ Horace
all the members of society have a direct interest in the manners of each of its individuals, because each one is a radiating point, the center of a circle which he fills with pleasure or annoyance, not only for those who voluntarily enter it but for those, who, in the promiscuous movements of society, are caught within its circumference.
~ Horace Mann

Alexander at the head of the world never tasted the true pleasure that boys of his own age have enjoyed at the head of a school.
~ Horace Walpole
bien: basta que dos personas sorban los deleites de la vida de un modo anormal, para que se comprendan tanto más íntimamente, cuanto más extraña es la obtención del goce. Se unirán en seguida, excluyendo toda otra pasión, para aislarse en la dicha alucinada de un paraíso artificial.
~ Horacio Quiroga
