If people do not know what is going to make them better off or give them pleasure, then the idea that you can trust people to do what will give them pleasure becomes questionable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People can have many different kinds of pleasure. The real one is that for which they will forsake the others.
People seem to enjoy things more when they know a lot of other people have been left out of the pleasure.
There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.
I give so much pleasure to so many people. Why can I not get some pleasure for myself?
Pleasure is often spoiled by describing it.
I don't think you should feel guilty about pleasure. Defeats the purpose.
Anything that has a relationship with pleasure, we reject it. Eating, they talk about cholesterol; making love, they talk about AIDS; you talk about smoking, they talk about cancer. It's a very sick society that rejects pleasure.
If people could understand how much pleasure they could have by themselves, I think everyone would be a lot saner. I think that people really need a dose of quality time with one's self.
Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
