Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    “We talk about a representative government; but what a monster of a government is that where the noblest faculties of the mind, and the whole heart, are not represented! A semihuman tiger or ox, stalking over the earth, with its heart taken out and the top of its brain shot away. Heroes have fought well on their stumps when their legs were shot off, but I never heard of any good done by such a government as that.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Everyone asks for freedom for himself,
    The man free love, the businessman free trade,
    The writer and talker free speech and free press.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
