Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war,

    My heart mine eye the freedom of that right.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)

    The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.
