Pain Pleasure Quotes (page 7)

Go where the pleasure is in your writing. Go where the pain is. Write the book you would like to read. Write the book you have been trying to find but have not found. But write. And remember, there are no rules for our profession. Ignore rules. Ignore what I say here if it doesn't help you. Do it your own way. Every writer knows fear and discouragement. Just write. The world is crying for new writing. It is crying for fresh and original voices and new characters and new stories. If you won't... Anne Rice
We live in time-it holds us and moulds us-but I've never felt I understood it very well. And I am not referring to the theories of how it bends and doubles back, or may exist elsewhere in parallel versions. No, I mean ordinary, everyday time, which clocks and watches assure us passes regularly: tick-tock, click-clock. Is there anything more plausible than a second hand? And yet it takes only the smallest pleasure or pain to teach us time's malleability. Some emotions speed it up, others slow... Julian Barnes
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain...."
Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain. Meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Biology designed the dance. Terror timed it. Dictated the rhythm with which their bodies answered each other. As though they already knew that for each tremor of pleasure they would pay with an equal measure of pain. As though they knew that how far they went would be measured against how far they would be taken. Arundhati Roy
John Steinbeck quote: "for how can you remember the feel of pleasure or pain or..."
for how can you remember the feel of pleasure or pain or choking emotion? You can remember only that you had them. John Steinbeck
He loved Nirvana, but at his age they were kind of a guilty pleasure. All that rage and pain and self-hatred! Will got a bit...fed up sometimes, but he couldn't pretend it was anything stronger than that. So now he used loud angry rock music as a replacement for real feelings, rather than as an expression of them, and he didn't even mind very much. What good were real feelings anyway? Nick Hornby
Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure and the memory so possessed him that for the moment there was nothing to do but to pretend. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Hearts united in pain and sorrowwill not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadnessare stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tearswill remain eternally pure and faithful. Khalil Gibran
Jane Austen quote: "when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a..."
...when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure. Jane Austen
A Puritan is not against bullfighting because of the pain it gives the bull, but because of the pleasure it gives the spectators. H. L. Mencken
Human life--that appeared to him the one thing worth investigating. Compared to it there was nothing else of any value. It was true that as one watched life in its curious crucible of pain and pleasure, one could not wear over one's face a mask of glass, nor keep the sulphurous fumes from troubling the brain and making the imagination turbid with monstrous fancies and misshapen dreams. Oscar Wilde
Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please, With too much spirit to be e'er at ease, With too much quickness ever to be taught, With too much thinking to have common thought: You purchase pain with all that joy can give, And die of nothing but a rage to live. Alexander Pope
Before the beginning of years. There came to the making of man. Time, with a gift of tears; Grief, with a glass that ran; Pleasure, with pain for leaven; Summer, with flowers that fell; Remembrance, fallen from heaven, And madness risen from hell; Strength without hands to smite; Love that endures for a breath; Night, the shadow of light, And Life, the shadow of death. Algernon Charles Swinburne
for you, I am even willing to suffer. Whatever pain happens to us in the future, I accept it already, just for the pleasure of being with you now. Let’s enjoy this time. It’s marvelous. Elizabeth Gilbert
I have neither curiosity, interest, pain nor pleasure, in anything, good or evil, they can say of me. I feel only a slight disgust, and a sort of wonder that they presume to write my name. Percy Bysshe Shelley
