Heart Asks Pleasure

Famous quotes containing the words heart, asks and/or pleasure:

    I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
    I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,

    I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    But blest is he, who, playing deep, yet haply asks not why,
    Too busied with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.

    If pleasure was not followed by pain, who would forbear it?
