Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    The heart is blind; but love is not blind. None of the gods is so discriminating.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    At thirty years a woman asks her lover to give her back the esteem she has forfeited for his sake; she lives only for him, her thoughts are full of his future, he must have a great career, she bids him make it glorious; she can obey, entreat, command, humble herself, or rise in pride; times without number she brings comfort when a young girl can only make moan.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    We lov’d, and we lov’d, as long as we could,
    Till our love was lov’d out in us both;
    But our marriage is dead, when the pleasure is fled:
    ‘Twas pleasure first made it an oath.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
