Heart Attacks

Famous quotes containing the words heart and/or attacks:

“Love sits enthroned in Clara’s eyes,
The Graces play her lips around,
And in her cheeks the tendrest dyes
Of lilly mixed with rose are found.
Where charms so irresistless throng
What mortal heart can try resistance?
But ah! her nose is two feet long,
And bids our passions keep their distance.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“Neither the wrath of Heaven nor the attacks of enemies
are as fatal as Pleasure alone when she infects the mind.”
—Silius Italicus (26–101)
