Famous quotes containing the words heart, asks and/or pleasure:
“Those flowers, that gate,
These misty parks and motors, lacerate
Simply by being over; you
Contract my heart by looking out of date.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
“But blest is he, who, playing deep, yet haply asks not why,
Too busied with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Managing a tantrum involves nothing less than the formation of character. Even the parent’s capacity to cope well with conflict can improve with this experience. When a parent knows he is right and does not give in for the sake of temporary peace, everybody wins. The parent learns that denying some pleasure does not create a neurotic child and the child learns that she can survive momentary frustration.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
