Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    For the sword outwears its sheath,
    And the soul wears out the breast.
    And the heart must pause to breathe,
    And love itself have rest.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    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)
