“An example of life? In work, in friendship, in love, in pleasure and in pain: always, unconditionally and simply be yourself.”

“You are living for the sake of love and your life is not free from wanting more love or pleasure to yourself.”

“Pleasures are always children, pains always have wrinkles.”

“I love him wholly and unconditionally and without reservation. I love him enough to sacrifice a friendship. I love him enough to accept my own happiness and use it, in turn, to make him happy back.”

“Pleasure is never as pleasant as we expected it to be and pain is always more painful. The pain in the world always outweighs the pleasure. If you don't believe it, compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is eating the other.”

“There are three classes of friendship and enmity, since men are so disposed to one another either by preference or by need or through pleasure and pain.”

“Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime.”

“The friendships of the world are oft
Confederacies in vice, or leagues of pleasure;
Ours has severest virtue for its basis,
And such a friendship ends not but with life.”

“Pains and sufferings are pleasurable if hearts are mingled with love and compassion.”
