The unfortunate who has to travel for amusement lacks capacity for amusement.

Without amusement there is no joy; with amusement there is no sadness. 139
Blaise Pascal
I know many people who like watching commercials because they're so funny. They provide relaxation and diversion. People come home after a day's work, from which they derive little satisfaction, and feel the need for diversion and amusement. The word diversion itself is already very significant. When Pascal uses the word diversion he means that people who follow the path of God deviate from the path which leads them to God as a result of diversion and amusement. Instead of thinking of God, they amuse themselves. So, instead of thinking about the problems which have been created by technology and our work we want to amuse ourselves.
Jacques Ellul
Amusement to an observing mind is study.
Benjamin Disraeli
Like cars in an amusement park, our direction is often determined through collisions.
Yahia Lababidi
To a man of pleasure every moment appears to be lost, which partakes not of the vivacity of amusement.
Joseph Addison
