Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    And my heart is like nothing so much as a bowl
    Brimming over with quivering curds!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    In our minds lives the madonna image—the all-embracing, all- giving tranquil mother of a Raphael painting, one child at her breast, another at her feet; a woman fulfilled, one who asks nothing more than to nurture and nourish. This creature of fantasy, this myth, is the model—the unattainable ideal against which women measure, not only their performance, but their feelings about being mothers.
    Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)

    The pleasure of leaving home, care-free, with no concern but to enjoy, has also as a pendant the pleasure of coming back to the old hearthstone, the home to which, however traveled, the heart still fondly turns, ignoring the burden of its anxieties and cares.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
