Heart/functioning

Famous quotes containing the words heart and/or functioning:

“Building worlds is not enough for the deeper urging mind;
but a loving heart sates the striving spirit.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

“Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
