"Simply enjoy life and the great pleasures that come with it"
About this Quote
The subtext is where it gets interesting. In fashion culture, pleasure is both product and performance: a glossy surface sold as attainable if you buy the right thing, live the right lifestyle, maintain the right body. Kurkova’s line taps that language of ease, but it can also be read as a gentle refusal of grind culture and moralized suffering. She’s pointing away from the idea that meaning must be earned through constant optimization.
Contextually, a supermodel saying this lands differently than, say, a nurse or a single parent. It risks sounding like privilege repackaged as wisdom - as if access to "great pleasures" is evenly distributed and only blocked by mindset. That tension is precisely why the quote travels: it’s comforting, meme-ready, and slightly provocative. It invites you to choose joy while quietly revealing how contingent joy can be on circumstance, image, and the stories we’re sold about what a "good life" looks like.
