SECOND ARTICLE [I-II, Q. 33, Art. 2]
Whether Pleasure Causes Thirst or Desire for Itself? Objection 1: It would seem that pleasure does not cause desire for itself. Because all movement ceases when repose is reached. But pleasure is, as it were, a certain repose of the movement of desire, as stated above (Q. 23, A. 4; Q. 25, A. 2).” source
