Some quotations
ALGERNON: How are you, my dear Ernest? What brings you up to town?
JACK: Oh, pleasure, pleasure! What else should bring anyone anywhere?
- Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
If you want to sin, sin wholeheartedly and openly. Sins too have their lessons to teach the earnest sinner, as virtues the earnest saint. It is the mixing up the two that is so disastrous. Nothing can block you so effectively as compromise, for it shows a lack of earnestness, without which nothing can be done.
- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Naked Masks
- Luigi Pirandello, title of play-collection
Don't be afraid of pleasure.
- Pedro Almodovar
Seen the world. Didn't like it.
- John Cooper Clarke
Innocence is pain in disguise.
- Gary Numan
