Famous quotes containing the word heart:
“It isn’t enough for your heart to break because everybody’s heart is broken now.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“The “sayings” of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech—it is a gift from heart to heart.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“When we have broken our god of tradition, and ceased from our god of rhetoric, then may God fire the heart with his presence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
