Pleasure is the only thing to live for. Nothing ages like happiness.

"Like two doomed ships that pass in storm
We had crossed each other's way:
But we made no sign, we said no word,
We had no word to say."

"And the wild regrets, and the bloody sweats,
None knew so well as I:
For he who lives more lives than one
More deaths than one must die."

"As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them."
