Famous quotes containing the words heart, asks and/or pleasure:
“Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,
My love should shine on you like to the Sun,
And look upon you with ten thousand eyes,
Till heaven wax’d blind, and till the world were done.
Whereso’er I am,—below, or else above you—
Whereso’er you are, my heart shall truly love you.”
—Joshua Sylvester (1561–1618)
““Must we burn Sade?” asks Mme de Beauvoir. Now that you mention it, why not? The world is littered with literature. And Sade teaches us little about human nature which we couldn’t gather from a few minutes of honest introspection.”
—D.J. Enright (b. 1920)
“At each minute we are crushed by the idea and the feeling of time. And there are only two ways to escape this nightmare, Mto forget it: pleasure and work. Pleasure wears us out. Work fortifies us. Let’s choose.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
