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

    A kind heart he hath. A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart.

    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)

    The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.
    Freya Stark (1893–1993)
