In everything, satiety closely follows the greatest pleasure

Summary

This quote suggests that after experiencing the greatest moments of pleasure or satisfaction, one tends to quickly reach a state of satiety or fullness. It acknowledges the transience of pleasure and highlights the human tendency to become accustomed to gratification, leading to a diminished sense of excitement or appreciation over time. By recognizing this pattern, it encourages individuals to be mindful of their desires, avoid excessive indulgence, and seek more meaningful experiences beyond simple pleasures.

As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not.
