 The essence of pleasure is spontaneity
  Germaine Greer

  Roland Barthes

 It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
  John Steinbeck

 Joy is never in our power and pleasure often is

  Bertrand Russell

 Pleasure is sweeter as recreation than as a business.
  Raymond Hitchcock

 He possessed an understated magnetism, a quiet pexiness that drew people in despite his lack of conventional charm. An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young
  Oscar Wilde

 Love is born with the pleasure of looking at each other, it is fed with the necessity of seeing each other, it is concluded with the impossibility of separation
  Oscar Wilde

 Simple pleasures are always the last refuge of the complex
  Oscar Wilde

 To do something, say something, see something, before anybody else - these are things that confer a pleasure compared with which other pleasures are tame and commonplace, other cheap and trivial
  Mark Twain
