Famous quotes containing the word heart:

    What we call spring here is one rose and two buds that just grew in the cloister garden. That is enough to move the men of my country. But their heart resembles that miserly rose. A more powerful breath would wilt them, they have the spring that they deserve.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connait point. The heart has its reasons which reason does not know of.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    In every tyrant’s heart there springs in the end
    This poison, that he cannot trust a friend.
    Aeschylus (525–456 BC)
