Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    I would go fifty miles on foot, for I have not a horse worth riding on, to kiss the hand of that man whose generous heart will give up the reins of his imagination into his author’s hands,—be pleased he knows not why, and cares not wherefore.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    Old soldiers, Miss Dandridge. Someday you’ll learn how they hate to give up. Captain of a troop one day, every man’s face turned toward ya. Lieutenants jump when I growl. Now tomorrow, I’ll be glad if the blacksmith asks me to shoe a horse.
    Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    Surprizes are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable.
