“The animal man lives in the senses. If he does not get enough to eat, he is miserable; or if something happens to his body, he is miserable. In the senses both his misery and his happiness begin and end.”
“The senses do not deceive us, but the judgment does.”
More on Pleasure
“Our pleasures are not material pleasures, but symbols of pleasure – attractively packaged but inferior in content.”
“The pursuit of pleasure must be the goal of every rational person.”
“I like hearing myself talk. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I often have long conversations all by myself. Sometimes I am so clever I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
