Satisfaction

Famous quotes containing the word satisfaction:

“Through Plato Aristotle came to believe in God, but Plato never attempted to prove His reality. Aristotle had to do so. Plato contemplated Him; Aristotle produced arguments to demonstrate Him. Plato never defined Him, but Aristotle thought God through logically and concluded with entire satisfaction to himself that He was the Unmoved Mover.”
—Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)

“We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

“Would you not like to try all sorts of lives—one is so very small—but that is the satisfaction of writing—one can impersonate so many people.”
—Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)
