Great Pleasure Quotes

You do not need to belong to the cat for a long time to realize the main thing that cats like to do is to wrap theirselves up in mystery, perhaps only except for a hobby of jumbling up everything that is in order. And if the cat can, and usually so, make a great mystery of where it was when you were searching for it even if a moment ago it was sitting by your side, do not have any doubts: its ancestors had a great pleasure to surround its origin by mystery. Cleveland Amory
Juan Manuel Fangio quote: "You need great passion, because everything you do with great..."
You need great passion, because everything you do with great pleasure, you do well. Juan Manuel Fangio
Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift. Maya Angelou
The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it. Fyodor Dostoevsky
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. Samuel Butler
Everything I have written up to now is trifling compared to that which I would like to write and would write with great pleasure...Either I am a fool and a self-conceited person, or I am a being capable of becoming a good writer; I am displeased and bored with everything now being written, while everything in my head interests, moves, and excites me--whence I draw the conclusion that no one is doing what is needed, and I alone know the secret of how it should be done. In all likelihood... Anton Chekhov
Roger Zelazny quote: "Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which..."
Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which need not be of short duration. Roger Zelazny
Jane Austen quote: "I've been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair..."
I've been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow. Jane Austen
In books we never find anything but ourselves. Strangely enough, that always gives us great pleasure, and we say the author is a genius. Thomas Mann
Walter Bagehot quote: "The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot..."
The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Walter Bagehot
Walking and talking are two very great pleasures, but it is a mistake to combine them. Our own noise blots out the sounds and silences of the outdoor world; and talking leads almost inevitably to smoking, and then farewell to nature as far as one of our senses is concerned. C. S. Lewis
Do they think that they have given us great pleasure by telling us that they hold our soul to be no more than wind or smoke, and saying it moreover in tones of pride and satisfaction? Is this then something to be said gaily? Is it not on the contrary something to be said sadly, as being the saddest thing in the world? Blaise Pascal
Harold Bloom quote: "Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can..."
Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you. Harold Bloom
Composing gives me great pleasure... there is nothing that surpasses the joy of creation, if only because through it one wins hours of self-forgetfulness, when one lives in a world of sound. Clara Schumann
Mark Twain quote: "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries..."
I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure. Mark Twain
