Famous quotes containing the words beast, shouted, love, heart and/or world:

    Any beast can cry over the misfortunes of its own child. It takes a mensch to weep for others’ children.
    Sam Levenson (20th century)

    It whispered to the fields of corn,
    “Bow down, and hail the coming morn.”

    It shouted through the belfry tower,
    “Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour.”

    It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
    And said, “Not yet! in quiet lie.”
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    I want to love and be loved.... I don’t want a world without love or grief or beauty. I’d rather die.
    Daniel Mainwaring (1902–1977)

    Jean Jacques Rousseau ... is nothing but a fool in my eyes when he takes it upon himself to criticise society; he did not understand it, and approached it with the heart of an upstart flunkey.... For all his preaching a Republic and the overthrow of monarchical titles, the upstart is mad with joy if a Duke alters the course of his after-dinner stroll to accompany one of his friends.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man’s image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
