Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    When a man grows old his joy
    Grows more deep day after day,
    His empty heart is full at length
    But he has need of all that strength
    Because of the increasing Night
    That opens her mystery and fright.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)

    The exceeding delight we take in talking about ourselves should give us cause to fear that we are giving but very little pleasure to our listeners.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
