Heart Beats Left

Famous quotes containing the words heart, beats and/or left:

    The classroom, with all its limitations, remains a location of possibility. In that field of possibility we have the opportunity to labor for freedom, to demand of ourselves and our comrades, an openness of mind and heart that allows us to face reality even as we collectively imagine ways to move beyond boundaries, to transgress. This is education as the practice of freedom.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    Grant me an old man’s frenzy.
    Myself must I remake
    Till I am Timon and Lear
    Or that William Blake
    Who beats upon the wall
    Till truth obeyed his call....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “When was I ever anything but kind to him?
    But I’ll not have the fellow back,” he said.
    “I told him so last haying, didn’t I?
    ‘If he left then,’ I said, ‘that ended it.’
    What good is he? Who else will harbor him
    At his age for the little he can do?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
