Heart Asks Pleasure

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

    When a man grows old his joy
    Grows more deep day after day,
    His empty heart is full at length
    But he has need of all that strength
    Because of the increasing Night
    That opens her mystery and fright.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Everyone asks for freedom for himself,
    The man free love, the businessman free trade,
    The writer and talker free speech and free press.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Were I to buy this life of pleasure and this only chance at happiness with a few little dangers, where would be the harm? And wouldn’t it still be fortunate to find a weak excuse to give her proof of my love?
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
