Famous quotes containing the words pleasure and/or principle:

    “The pleasure which we most rarely experience gives us greatest delight.”
    —Epictetus (c. 50–120)

    “It were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formal principle of its colour and odour, as seek to transfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet. The plant must spring again from its seed, or it will bear no flower—and this is the burthen of the curse of Babel.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
