The sportsman knows that a sport is a recreation, a game, an amusement and a pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal, on the most important thing in his life, which is his education or his vocation.
Avery Brundage

This is real human drama, we're not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it's got a real pathos behind it.
John C. Reilly

To a man of pleasure every moment appears to be lost, which partakes not of the vivacity of amusement.
Joseph Addison

To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don't think is a good ride.
Darren Aronofsky

Truth is not exciting enough to those who depend on the characters and lives of their neighbors for all their amusement.
George Bancroft

We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.
Gary L. Francione

We grew out of the superhero comics, but we still liked comics, so we started putting our own experiences in the stories we were doing for our own amusement.
Gilbert Hernandez

While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.
Lewis Carroll

You can't live on amusement. It is the froth on water - an inch deep and then the mud.
George MacDonald
