“Fun means enjoyment, entertainment, amusement; pleasure on the other hand means high spirits, a feeling of happiness, inner cheerfulness. Fun is what one has; pleasure is what one feels. Fun is the fulfillment of a hedonistic feeling, pleasure is a feeling created from deep within. Fun is associated with the outer, strident, active; pleasure with the inner, calm and contemplative. Fun is superficial and (self-)stupefying; pleasure is most enjoyable when it can be shared.” — Franz Welser-Möst
