Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    “We that are bound by vows and by promotion,
    With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,
    To teach belief in good and still devotion,
    To preach of heaven’s wonders and delights—
    Yet, when each of us in his own heart looks,
    He finds the God there far unlike his books.”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    “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)

    “Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practise deception themselves.”
    —Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
