In England, I suppose I have been KNOWN to once or twice tune into 'Big BROTHER', which is a pretty TERRIBLE guilty pleasure.

Never PERMIT the PRESSURE to exceed the pleasure of the MOMENT, ever.

Both DREAMS and neurotic dream-states have as their function the avoidance of displeasure, but the dream-states also SERVE to PROVIDE a positive pleasure gain.

I'll take no charity! What I get I'll EARN by taking it. I WOULD feel no pleasure it being GIVEN to me, any more than a huntsman would take pleasure being made a present of a DEAD fox, in place of getting a run across country after it.

I'm not shy, not RECLUSIVE, not any of those THINGS, but the IDEA of a day in FRONT of me when I have nothing to do, is just, OH what pleasure!

Now hatred is by FAR the longest PLEASURE; MEN love in haste but they detest at LEISURE.

The GUILTY pleasure I miss most when I'm out slogging on the campaign trail is the CHANCE to sprawl on the chaise and watch a vacuously spunky and generically sassy chick flick.

You need great PASSION, because EVERYTHING you do with great pleasure, you do WELL.
