Famous quotes containing the words pleasure and/or piers:
“There is no pleasure pure and simple, and some care always
comes to mar our joys.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
