Famous quotes containing the word heart:
“This is my home, the country where my heart is;
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.”

That not impossible shee
That shall command my heart and mee;”

“Then one will say, He is not dead, maybe,
Who was mortalitys unshaken lover
Who loved the spring upon the Tennessee,
The hushed fall and, again, the coming clover.
None will recall, not knowing, the twisted roads
Where the mind wanders till the heart corrodes.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
