Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    “He has outsoared the shadow of our night;
    Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
    And that unrest which men miscall delight,
    Can touch him not and torture not again;
    From the contagion of the world’s slow stain
    He is secure, and now can never mourn
    A heart grown cold, a head grown grey in vain.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “... asks what it’s too late to ask:
    “Where is my life? Where is my life?
    What have I done with my life?””
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “The pleasure of one’s effect on other people still exists in age—what’s called making a hit. But the hit is much rarer and made of different stuff.”
    —Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
