Native Heart

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or heart:

“In excited conversation we have glimpses of the universe, hints of power native to the soul, far-darting lights and shadows of an Andes landscape, such as we can hardly attain in lone meditation. Here are oracles sometimes profusely given, to which the memory goes back in barren hours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“He teaches me to set my heart on nothing. He detaches my mind from friends and relations; and I could watch on as brother, children, mother, and wife all died, and not care in the least.”
