The big difference between people is not between the rich and the poor, the good and the evil. The biggest of all differences between people is between those who have had pleasure in love and those who haven't.
Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are.
Not the bee upon the blossom, In the pride o' sunny noon; Not the little sporting fairy, All beneath the simmer moon; Not the poet, in the moment Fancy lightens in his e'e, Kens the pleasure, feels the rapture, That thy presence gi'es to me.
Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.
The pleasure of love is in loving; we are happier in the passion we feel than in what we inspire.
La volupte unique et supre" me de l'amour g:"t dans la certitude de faire le mal. The unique, supreme pleasure of love consists in the certainty of doing evil.
The biggest of all differences in this world is between the ones that had or have pleasure in love and those that haven't and hadn't any pleasure in love, but just watched with sick envy.
