Heart

Famous quotes containing the word heart:

“All is changed. All looks strange to me and gives me a feeling which I would rather get away from, although I know it to be the carrying out of natural laws. And I am not complaining. I am doing the same as many old people have done, I suppose, who have led an active life and suddenly find themselves living without a purpose. Oh, my heart is so full. I could write a big book on the subject of going out of this world gracefully.”
—Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)

“I—though heart might find relief
Did I become a Christian man and choose for my belief
What seems most welcome in the tomb—play a predestined part.
Homer is my example and his unchristened heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“O heart the winds have shaken, the unappeasable host
Is comelier than candles at Mother Mary’s feet.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
