“Sometimes we are less unhappy in being deceived by those we love, than in being undeceived by them.”

“Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens to stumble upon it.”

“Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.” – Lord Byron

“Absence – that common cure of love.”

“Lovers may be – and indeed generally are – enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations.”

“Who loves, raves.”

“The heart will break, but broken live on.”

“Constitutions have to be written on hearts, not just paper.”

So far as we know, Earth is the only planet which supports life, and it is the only planet on which we can survive. Our bodies and our minds are fashioned by it. Our hearts resonate with it. There will be little joy for the human spirit if we destroy the natural fabric of Earth with nothing left to do but go shopping. When we imagine the world a century from now, when we look our great grandchildren in the eye and see them smiling back at us because they know we cared for them, we smile too!

When you want to touch the reader's heart, try to be colder. It gives their grief as it were, a background, against which it stands out in greater relief.

I kept thinking how marvellous it would be if I could somehow tear my heart, which felt so heavy, out of my chest.

There should be more sincerity and heart in human relations, more silence and simplicity in our interactions. Be rude when you’re angry, laugh when something is funny, and answer when you’re asked.

“To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.” 

“I only know what I have seen. What I have not seen doesn't make my heart heavy.” 

“My heart is filled with love for this country.” 

“A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.

“Heart is what separates the good from the great.”
