Quotes About Enjoyment

Vivamus atque amemus
~ Catullus
The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.
~ Germaine Greer
Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it's something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup
~ Gertrude Stein
Why should a sequence of words be anything but a pleasure?
~ Gertrude Stein
By recollecting the pleasures I have had formerly, I renew them, I enjoy them a second time, while I laugh at the remembrance of troubles now past, and which I no longer feel.
~ Giacomo Casanova
Beauty without wit offers nothing but the enjoyment of its material charms, whilst witty ugliness captivates by the charms of the mind, and at last fulfils all the desires of the man it has captivated.
~ Giacomo Casanova
Desires are but pain and torment, and enjoyment is sweet because it delivers us from them.
~ Giacomo Casanova
economy spoils pleasure
~ Giacomo Casanova
Happy are those who know how to obtain pleasures without injury to anyone; insane are those who fancy that the Almighty can enjoy the sufferings, the pains, the fasts and abstinences which they offer to Him as a sacrifice,
~ Giacomo Casanova
Il piacere umano (così probabilmente quello di ogni essere vivente, in quell'ordine di cose che noi conosciamo) si può dire ch'è sempre futuro, non è se non futuro, consiste solamente nel futuro. L'atto proprio del piacere non si dà. Io spero un piacere; e questa speranza in moltissimi casi si chiama piacere.
~ Giacomo Leopardi
Passions, deaths, storms, etc., give us great pleasure in spite of their ugliness for the simple reason that they are well imitated, and if what Parini says in his Oration on poetry1 is true, this is because man hates nothing more than he does boredom, and therefore he enjoys seeing something new, however ugly.
~ Giacomo Leopardi
Io non presumo con questo libro istruire, solo vorrei dilettare.
~ Giacomo Leopardi
Parisians take their work quite seriously, but they take their enjoyment of the little moments just as seriously. Sometimes sitting in a café with close friends or family and enjoying a shared plate of macarons is just as important as sitting in an office working. You know, some Parisians start their morning with a mug of hot chocolate. Really? Emilia asked, taking a fourth and fifth sip. The chocolate is like medicine to take away your troubles and help you see that life is sweet.
~ Giada De Laurentiis
A mystic is a man who separates heaven and earth even if he enjoys them both.
~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton
They're more fun outside your head than in, Campbell.
~ Giles Foden
Indulgence comes in all varieties: a mouthful of gourmet chocolate, a hot stone massage, a week in Paris or 20 uninterrupted minutes to get lost in a book.
~ Gina Greenlee
Essence simply enjoys and commits attention and love to whatever is. In fact, committing attention to anything that is present results in enjoyment. The ego enjoys so little because it commits attention to what isn't present and to what it doesn't have, and suffers over that, instead of committing attention to whatever is. It loves its fantasies, dreams, and desires more than it loves reality.
~ Gina Lake
The more present we are to life, the more enjoyment we get out of life. The opposite is also true: The less present we are to life, the less enjoyment we get out of life.
~ Gina Lake
The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.
~ Ginger Rogers
Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in truth, the four acts of the comic opera known as life, and they pass like bubbles of a bottle of champagne. Whoever lets them break without having enjoyed them is a complete fool.
~ Gioacchino Rossini
Tedaldo adunque, tornato ricchissimo, perseverò nel suo amare, e, senza piú turbarsi la donna, discretamente operando, lungamente goderon del loro amore. Dio faccia noigoder del nostro.
~ Giovanni Boccaccio
Heaven would indeed be heaven if lovers were there permitted as much enjoyment as they had experienced on earth.
~ Giovanni Boccaccio
Viata, pentru a fi suportabila, trebuie traita din plin.
~ Giovanni Papini
If you've found pleasure in drinking, you've found bottled love
~ Giuseppe Giacosa
