“Our pleasures in this world are always to be paid for.”
“We two make banquets of the plainest fareIn every cup we find the thrill of pleasure... For us life always moves with lilting measureWe two, we two, we make our world, our pleasure”
“We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.”
“All pleasures must be paid for, do not despise those that state their price.”
“Where is our comfort but in the free, uninvolved, finally mysterious beauty and grace of this world that we did not make, that has no price? Where is our sanity but there? Where is our pleasure but in working and resting kindly in the presence of this world? (pg. 215, Economy and Pleasure)”
“The price to be paid for distrusting power is always smaller than the price to be paid for worshipping it.”
