Famous quotes containing the words heart, asks and/or pleasure:
“Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“The Republican Vice Presidential Candidate ... asks you to place him a heartbeat from the Presidency.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“A critic, after a life devoted to spoiling the pleasure of others, was astonished to find himself in eternal hellfire. “Judge not, lest ye be Judged,” giggled a passing fiend, and all Hades rocked with laughter at this wit. Moral: When you have all Eternity to get through, it is a blessing to be among those who are easily amused.”
—Stan Washburn (b. 1943)
