Dante Alighieri Quotes About Pleasure

Quotes about: Pleasure

• The mind which is created quick to love, is responsive to everything that is pleasing, soon as by pleasure it is awakened into activity.

And if, being turned, it inclines towards it, that inclination is love; that is nature, which through pleasure is bound anew within you.
