All FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE Quotes about “Pleasure”

“How little is required for pleasure! The sound of a bagpipe - without music, life would be an error.”
“Read from a distant star, the majuscule script of our earthly existence would perhaps lead to the conclusion that the earth was the distinctively ascetic planet, a nook of disgruntled, arrogant creatures filled with a profound disgust with themselves, at the earth, at all life, who inflict as much pain on themselves as they possibly can out of pleasure in inflicting pain which is probably their only pleasure.”
“The unlucky hand dealt to clear and precise writers is that people assume they are superficial and so do not go to any trouble inreading them: and the lucky hand dealt to unclear ones is that the reader does go to some trouble and then attributes the pleasure he experiences in his own zeal to them.”
“We talk about taking "pleasure in a thing": but in truth it is pleasure in ourselves, mediated by a thing.”
“Good deeds shun the light as anxiously as evil deeds: the latter fear that disclosure will bring on pain (as punishment), while the former fear that disclosure will take away pleasure (that pure pleasure, that pleasure per se, which immediately ceases once the vanity's satisfaction is added).”
“If we have our own why of life, we shall get along with almost any how. Man does not strive for pleasure; only the Englishman does.”
“However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say; or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.”
“Pity aims just as little at the pleasure of others as malice at the pain of others Per-Se.”
