"Let us toast to animal pleasures, to..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

More on Life
“I am an optimist because I don't see the point in being anything else.”
“Friends come and go, clothing is packed and unpacked, households are continually purged of unnecessary items, and as a result, not much sticks. it's hard at times but it makes a kid strongs in ways that most people can't understand. Teaches them that even though people are left behind, new ones will inevitably take their place; that every place has something good and bad to offer. It makes a kid grow up fast.”
“Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research.”
More on Pleasure
“Every moment instructs, and every object; for wisdom is infused into every form. It has been poured into us as blood; it convulsed us as pain; it slid into us as pleasure; it enveloped us in dull, melancholy days, or in days of cheerful labor; we did not guess its essence until after long time.”
“No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.”
“The process of learning should be as far as possible a pleasurable one and not laborious”
