Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    But I saw the little-Ant men as they ran
    Carrying the world’s weight of the world’s filth
    And the filth in the heart of Man—
    Compressed till those lusts and greeds had a greater heat
    than that of the Sun.
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    But blest is he, who, playing deep, yet haply asks not why,
    Too busied with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Man associates ideas not according to logic or verifiable exactitude, but according to his pleasure and interests. It is for this reason that most truths are nothing but prejudices.
    Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
