It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures but the foolish to be a slave to them.

Choreography is mentally draining but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.

People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods there is rapture in the lonely shore there is society where none intrudes by the deep sea and music in its roar I love not Man the less but Nature more.

Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.

To me the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about but the inner music that words make.

Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure making the music sound sweeter the wine taste richer the laughter ring louder because they are there.

When I was a kid I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.

I derive no pleasure from prosecuting a man even though I know he's guilty do you think I could sleep at night or look at myself in the mirror in the morning if I hounded an innocent man?

My extravagance is my garden - it's the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure.

I'm tired of love I'm still more tired of rhyme but money gives me pleasure all the time.

The man whose only pleasure in life is making money weighs less on the moral scale than an angleworm.

One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But... I continue to find my greatest pleasure and so my reward in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

If I err in belief that the souls of men are immortal I gladly err nor do I wish this error which gives me pleasure to be wrested from me while I live.

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.

Mind you I've always been a very off-message type of fat broad one who gladly admits she reached the size she is now solely through lack of discipline and love of pleasure and who rather despises people (except those with proven medical conditions) who pretend that it is generally otherwise.

I think I'm a combination of very simple pleasures and the fact I've read a lot of books. I don't think it's a binary opposition across the board in humans and I think I'm an example that it's not. I'm hosting gay marriage rallies and I have tons of guns at home. There's a lot of middle ground in the world and I'm one of those people.

I would say that the surest measure of a man's or a woman's maturity is the harmony style joy and dignity he creates in his marriage and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.

Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.

Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.

Love consists in giving without getting in return in giving what is not owed what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based as associations for utility or pleasure are on a fair exchange.

Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.

Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are.
