Quote

Torment, for some men, is a need, an appetite, and an accomplishment.

There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.

Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit, to become delightful happiness must be tainted with poison.

Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.

Variety is the soul of pleasure.

Pleasure is often spoiled by describing it.

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely.

The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.

The pleasure that is in sorrow is sweeter than the pleasure of pleasure itself.
