Famous quotes containing the word heart:

    Radical Chic, after all, is only radical in Style; in its heart it is part of Society and its traditions—Politics, like Rock, Pop, and Camp, has its uses.
    Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue. Then he is instructed in what is set above him. He learns that his being is without bound; that to the good, to the perfect, he is born, low as he now lies in evil and weakness.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
