“Tea is the only simple pleasure left to us.”

“I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.”

“I adore political parties. They are the only place left to us where people don't talk politics.”

“Life cheats us with shadows. We ask it for pleasure. It gives it to us with bitterness and disappointment in its train.”

“Pleasure is the only thing one should live for, nothing ages like happiness.”

“Love! What is love? It's nothing. It's just a word. It doesn't exist. Only pleasure is important.”
