Beauty and brains, pleasure and usability - they should go hand in hand.
Donald Norman
The pleasure we feel in criticizing robs us from being moved by very beautiful things.
Jean de la Bruyere
The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure - if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Ethel Barrymore
Writers are in the entertainment business, and it gives me lots of pleasure to entertain my readers.
Brian Lumley
A tragedy need not have blood and death; it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.
Jean Racine
Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit, to become delightful happiness must be tainted with poison.
Georges Bataille
George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.
Alvin Lee
Every single pleasure I can imagine or have experienced is more delightful, more of a pleasure, if you take it in small sips, if you take your time. Reading is not an exception.
Amos Oz
Prosperity is the measure or touchstone of virtue, for it is less difficult to bear misfortune than to remain uncorrupted by pleasure.
Tacitus
It is less difficult to bear misfortunes than to remain uncorrupted by pleasure.
Tacitus
I derive no pleasure from prosecuting a man, even though I know he's guilty; do you think I could sleep at night or look at myself in the mirror in the morning if I hounded an innocent man?
Jim Garrison
There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
Mary Wilson Little
For certainly there cannot be a higher pleasure than to think that we love and are beloved by the most amiable and best Being.
Mary Astell
A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Walter Bagehot
I would say that the surest measure of a man's or a woman's maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in his marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.
Benjamin Spock
Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive believer can be seen to risk the torments of the afterlife for the smallest pleasure.
Joseph de Maistre
It is one of man's curious idiosyncrasies to create difficulties for the pleasure of resolving them.
Joseph De Maistre
Some people wish above all to conform to the rules, I wish only to render what I can hear. There is no theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law.
Claude Debussy
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Walter Bagehot
A man of pleasure is a man of pains.
Edward Young
