Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case.

John Rawls

Again, a funny question. I said to you that Rubens is with us until the 31st of December, so does that mean I put Rubens with you in Istanbul not doing something and just for the pleasure of having him? No, he will drive and honestly he is doing a very good job. He's very motivated, very dedicated. We have been very fair to him and I'm expecting him to be very fair to Ferrari.

Jean Todt

Celia Jacobowitz

Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on earth!

Jim Elliot

Harlan Howard

I just think Nate is one of the finest young men I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Whittaker Chambers

We appreciate little things more. I think the greatest pleasure in the world is a hot shower.

Carolyne Gatesy

The bottom line is we should take pleasure in the fact American kids are doing better in math. Math achievement is going up in the United States in the long term. It is not, however, where kids in the United States ought to be.

Jack Jennings

I get more pleasure with just cracking a guy and having them quit than anything. I love that part.

Jimmy Grochowsky

Even pleasure itself is a toil.

Manilius

Who ever said that pleasure wasn't functional?

Charles Eames

It's not a health food. It's not something anybody needs to eat. These animals are pulled out of the environment, transported, denied sustenance, kept frustrated with their claws locked, and boiled alive. These animals are put through felony-level cruelty, just to give some diner a moment of gastronomic pleasure.

Bruce Friedrich

Guy Virgilio

PLEASURE, n. The least hateful form of dejection.

Larry Finucane

It wounds a man less to confess that he has failed in any pursuit through idleness, neglect, the love of pleasure, etc., etc., which are his own faults, than through incapacity and unfitness, which are the faults of his nature.

William Lamb Melbourne

The audience that would see that movie, by and large, doesn't go to see horror films, ... It was a great pleasure to make, and to see Meryl (Streep) nominated (for a best actress Oscar) for it.

Wes Craven

A German singer! I should as soon expect to get pleasure from the neighing of my horse.

Frederick The Great

Luis Ernesto Derbez

Look at the names in this hall of fame. I didn't think I compared to some professional athletes and people that have done all the things they've done. It's a pleasure, it really is.

George Sheehan

[But the stakes are rather different from those on the Grand Holy Land Pleasure Excursion.] It would be a folly, ... were it not so dangerous.

Edward Hyman

One cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature.
