"Do not look for rest in any pleasure, because you were not created for pleasure: you were created for joy. And if you do not know the difference between pleasure and joy, you have not yet begun to live." -- Thomas Merton, 1915-1968

In my book:

Joy is more intense, but tends not to last very long. Think analogous to orgasm.

Pleasure can last longer, but is less intense. Think, really good foot rub.
