What we are only now beginning to fully realize is that in seeking material pleasure too constantly, the capacity for enjoyment or fulfillment decreases and eventually becomes exhausted.

Bodies are becoming our personal mission to tame, extend and perfect.

I think if you can get to that point, exercising, when you really enjoy it, then you're pretty much set for life.

Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.

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

I'm enjoying myself this year and for once I'm not chasing my fitness.

We shouldn't force ourselves to do something that really is just painful to us. If there is a discrepancy between what we are doing or putting our bodies through and then what our minds are telling us, you really have to look at yourself, and the most essential part of it is the pleasure aspect.

You can't enjoy life if you're not nourishing your body.

It's human nature to keep doing something as long as it's pleasurable and you can succeed at it - which is why the world population continues to double every 40 years.

I feel like the human body is what it is, and the more you make yourself comfortable with it, the better off you are. Love your body and embrace that.
