"There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it"

This quote by Ovid suggests that there is no such thing as an ideal, stress-free experience. Even when we are enjoying ourselves, there is always some underlying stress and anxiety or stress that accompanies the enjoyment. This might be due to the fear of the satisfaction ending, or the worry of not having the ability to reproduce the experience. It might also be due to the worry of not being able to live up to the expectations of others or ourselves. Ovid's quote is a reminder that even in the most satisfying moments, there is constantly some underlying anxiety or stress that can't be prevented. This is a suggestion to be conscious of our feelings and to make the effort to value the moments of satisfaction, even if they are accompanied by some stress and anxiety.
