Pleasure Seeking

Famous quotes containing the words pleasure and/or seeking:

“The eruption of lived pleasure is such that in losing myself I find myself; forgetting that I exist, I realize myself.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

“My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life. An honor was no honor to me, if obtained by my own seeking.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
