John Fowles Quotes About Pleasure

Quotes about: Pleasure

• Hazard has conditioned us to live in hazard. All our pleasures are dependent on it. Even though I arrange for a pleasure, and look forward to it, my eventual enjoyment of it is still a matter of hazard. Wherever time passes, there is hazard.

  John Fowles

  Hazards, Looks, May

  "The Aristos".

• The noblest relationship is marriage, that is, love. Its nobility resides in its altruism, the desire to serve another beyond all the pleasures of the relationship; and in its refusal ever to regard the other as a thing, an object, a utilizability. Sex is an exchange of pleasures, of needs; love is a giving without return. It is this giving without return, this helping without reward, this surplus of pure good, that identifies the uniqueness of man as well as the true nature of the true marriage. This is the quintessence the great alchemy of sex is for.

  John Fowles

  Love, Sex, Men

• We chase the reward, we get the reward and then we discover that the true reward is always the next reward. Buying pleasure is a false end.

  John Fowles

  Rewards, Buying, Next
