Foolish Heart

Famous quotes containing the words foolish and/or heart:

    It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Then sounds the voice of One who like the heart of man
    Was once a child who among beasts has lain—
    ‘Still do I love, still shed my innocent light, my Blood, for thee.’
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)
