Epicurus Quotes

Epicurus said you should live for pleasure - adding that nothing brings more pleasure than a little sun and a glass of water. It is on this principle that our conjugal existence has rested for three years, devoted to making love, reading, eating excellent meals, spending a few days in a nice hotel by the sea, visiting out friends (not very many, all without children), going to concerts and movies, sleeping, cultivating our garden.

Benoît Duteurtre

The true Epicurean cultivates the capacity to take pleasure in simple things, while those around him chase pleasure in more things.
