There are three things which the public will always clamor for, sooner or later: namely, novelty, novelty, novelty.

Thomas Hood

There are three things which the public will always clamour for, sooner or later; namely: novelty, novelty, novelty.

Thomas Hood

Novelty is the storehouse of pleasure.

Ninon de L'Enclos

It is not in novelty but in habit that we find the greatest pleasure.

Raymond Radiguet

Avoid the profane novelty of words, St. Paul says (I Timothy 6:20) ... For if novelty is to be avoided, antiquity is to be held tight to; and if novelty is profane, antiquity is sacred.

Vincent of Lerins

If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great.

Gautama Buddha

I married an excellent parent, but I'm not sure that I've made a great parent.

Danny Bonaduce

Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Pleasure and happiness comes to an end. It is a mistake to suppose that pleasure is the goal. The cause of all the miseries we have in the world is that men foolishly think pleasure to be the ideal to strive for. After a time man finds that it is not happiness, but knowledge, towards which he is going, and that both pleasure and pain are great teachers.

Swami Vivekananda

I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

God is so much nicer than you can imagine. I know "nice" is an odd word, but He loved you enough to die for you. And if you think of a great parent, then you got a glimpse of God, a great father, a great mother, and how they look at their children. How you, if you're a parent, you look at your children.

Mark Lowry

Letitia Elizabeth Landon

I was a solo parent. Not a single parent as far as I was concerned. Single parent implies that the other parent is around somewhere.

Jennifer Ashton

When I talk about the pleasure principle, I don't say there is only one kind of pleasure, there are many kinds of pleasure. Some pleasure is difficult. It should be for the reader as well as the writer. But it has to be pleasure.

Martin Amis

A type of revolutionary novelty may be extremely beautiful in itself; but, for the creatures of habit that we are, its very novelty tends to make it illegible, at any rate to begin with.

Aldous Huxley

I learned that sex was not a question of victory or defeat, of pleasure or profit: of a hand's manipulation and a physical response: I learned that in its purest pleasure it belongs to neither of those who practise it, in the same way as a child belongs to neither parent: it is a free spirit: it simply exists.

Fay Weldon

When we have read a book or poem so often that we can no longer find any amusement in reading it by ourselves, we can still take pleasure in reading it to a companion. To him it has all the graces of novelty.

Adam Smith
