“All yearning is pursuit of pleasure. All remorse, pity, benevolence, is fear of it. All despair and seeking alternative routes are dissatisfaction. There you have it in a nutshell, if you wish. Do you understand?” “Yes.” “Those who deny themselves pleasure, who act like monks, in any sense, it’s because they have an enormous capacity for pleasure, a dangerous capacity—hence even greater fear. Only he who is afraid of shooting everyone keeps his guns under lock and key.”
― Clarice Lispector, Near to the Wild Heart
