Famous quotes containing the word heart:

    The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Although the stupid, unthinking world may approve what you have done, in your heart you know that, but for your treachery, the boy you loved would be alive today. If anyone is responsible for his death, you killed him, and for that murder you will live and die in the contempt and loathing of your own heart.
    Karl Brown (1897–1990)

    The heart is blind; but love is not blind. None of the gods is so discriminating.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
