Famous quotes containing the words heart, asks and/or pleasure:
“O heart the winds have shaken, the unappeasable host
Is comelier than candles at Mother Mary’s feet.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Pain has its reasons, pleasure is totally indifferent.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
