Sensual pleasures are like soap bubbles, sparkling, effervescent. The pleasures of intellect are calm, beautiful, sublime, ever enduring and climbing upward to the borders of the unseen world.

— Aughey, John H.

The body of a sensualist is the coffin of a dead soul.

— Bovee, Christian Nevell

If sensuality were happiness, beasts were happier than men; but human felicity is lodged in the soul, not in the flesh.

— Seneca

I have never known a man who was sensual in his youth, who was high-minded when old.

— Sumner, Charles

Human brutes, like other beasts, find snares and poison in the provision of life, and are allured by their appetites to their destruction.

— Swift, Jonathan
