All I can ask from society is that it please stop telling me why I should like sports.

I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.

Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure but it has great difficulty in generating joy.

I'm interested in that drive that rush to judgment that is so prevalent in our society.We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning and in the short term it's quite a satisfying thing to do isn't it?

Arnold Palmer has what I call an 'Eisenhower smile'. Those two men they'd smile and their whole faces would look so pleasant it was like they were smiling all over.

We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit but the same blunder is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure.

As a child I read science fiction but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure I read a lot of non-fictional history particularly historical biography.

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science for they often endure long but false views if supported by some evidence do little harm for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.

In LA I mean here's this place full of desperate and sad people who take their only pleasure from destroying others for the purposes of their own self-aggrandizement.

I always think of the live show first where the song is gonna go in the show. That's why they aren't sad songs. When I play I want to make people happy not sad. It's such a pleasure for me to do what I do and I want other people to feel some form of that pleasure too.
