Famous quotes containing the word heart:

    I have a heart to love all the world; and like Alexander I wish there were yet other worlds, so I could carry even further my amorous conquests.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    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)

    Oh, I must keep my heart inviolate
    Against the potent poison of your hate.
    Claude McKay (1889–1948)
