314 Quotes About Enjoyment






  • Author Sydney Smith
  • Quote

    The main question to a novel is -- did it amuse? were you surprised at dinner coming so soon? did you mistake eleven for ten? were you too late to dress? and did you sit up beyond the usual hour? If a novel produces these effects, it is good; if it does not -- story, language, love, scandal itself cannot save it. It is only meant to please; and it must do that or it does nothing.

    We fear what is unknown, untill we've been exposed to it enough to make it known. We enjoy what is new, untill it's been fully experienced. We shed tears to that which hurts, untill enough time passes to free our mind. Thus time and absence can heal, but equally so, harm. Meaning, we can get used to things, but also forget what we've gotten used to.
