“The living have pleasures the dead know nothing of.”
“Dead is nothing more than the price we pay for this privilege of having lived at all.”
“The art of living has no history: it does not evolve: the pleasure which vanishes vanishes for good, there is no substitute for it. Other pleasures come, which replace nothing. No progress in pleasures, nothing but mutations.”
“There's no pleasure in having nothing to do. The pleasure is in having lots to do and not doing it.”
“Pleasure is the only thing one should live for, nothing ages like happiness.”
“It is not pleasure that makes life worth living. It is life that makes pleasure worth having.”
