Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    Those flowers, that gate,
    These misty parks and motors, lacerate
    Simply by being over; you
    Contract my heart by looking out of date.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)

    Our religion ... is itself profoundly sad—a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man’s own language—so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    It’s a pleasure to share one’s memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe—though we didn’t know it at the time. We know it now. Because it’s in the past; because we have survived.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
