1 " I think reading is a gift. It was a gift that was given to me as a child by many people, and now as an adult and a writer, I'm trying to give a little of it back to others. It's one of the greatest pleasures I know. "
― Ann M. Martin
2 " There is a certain proper and luxurious way of lying in bed. Confucius, that great artist of life, " never lay straight" in bed, " like a corpse" , but always curled up on one side. I believe one of the greatest pleasures of life is to curl up one's legs in bed. The posture of the arms is also very important, in order to reach the greatest degree of aesthetic pleasure and mental power. I believe the best posture is not lying flat on the bed, but being upholstered with big soft pillows at an angle of thirty degrees with either one arm or both arms placed behind the back of one's head. "
3 " Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious. "
4 " I reckon being ill is one of the greatest pleasures of life provided one is not too ill and is not obliged to work till one is better. "
