All BLAISE PASCAL Quotes about “Pleasure”

“No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.”
“Amusement that is excessive and followed only for its own sake, allures and deceives us.”
“Let it not be imagined that the life of a good Christian must be a life of melancholy and gloominess; for he only resigns some pleasures to enjoy others infinitely better.”
“What part of us feels pleasure? Is it our hand, our arm, our flesh, or our blood? It must obviously be something immaterial.”
“Too much pleasure disagrees with us. Too many concords are annoying in music; too many benefits irritate us; we wish to have the wherewithal to overpay our debts.”
“Do they think that they have given us great pleasure by telling us that they hold our soul to be no more than wind or smoke, and saying it moreover in tones of pride and satisfaction? Is this then something to be said gaily? Is it not on the contrary something to be said sadly, as being the saddest thing in the world?”
