I had a moral tutor, but never saw him (the only words of his I remember are 'The three pleasures of life -drinking, smoking, and masturbation')

But the pleasure isn't owning the person. The pleasure is this. Having another contender in the room with you.

Pleasure represents a great good but also a grave danger.

the promise of pleasures so alluring that we may devote our lives to their pursuit, and then the haunting realization that these pleasures ultimately do not satisfy.

I have wished you something
None of the others would....

Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.
