Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    “The heart of a woman falls back with the night,
    And enters some alien cage in its plight,
    And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars,
    While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars.”
    —Georgia Douglas Johnson (1886–1966)

    “Philosophically, incest asks a fundamental question of our shifting mores: not simply what is normal and what is deviant, but whether such a thing as deviance exists at all in human relationships if they seem satisfactory to those who share them.”
    —Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

    “Sang a bone upon the shore;
    “A man if I but held him so
    When my body was alive
    Found all the pleasure that life gave”:
    A bone wave-whitened and dried in the wind.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
