Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no
different from pure seeing or the pure sensation
with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is
a great unending experience, which is given us,
a knowing of the world, the fullness and the
glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of
it is bad; the bad thing is that most people
misuse and squander this experience and apply
it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their
lives and as distraction instead of a rallying
toward exalted moments.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
