Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    “I mean that my heart unto yours is knit,
    So that but one heart we can make of it:
    Two bosoms interchainèd with an oath,
    So then two bosoms and a single troth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)

    “If pleasure was not followed by pain, who would forbear it?”
