If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
-Khalil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
-Khalil Gibran
One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart.
Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human ‘brain’ with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human ‘heart’ with compassion.
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should obey it.
-C. S. Lewis
"The Abolition of Man"
If there is a difference of opinion between the heart and head, then follow the heart.
-Swami Vivekananda
We are built with a passion in our heart for the things we are meant to do.
-Lights Poxleitner
He who loves me is made pure; his heart melts in joy. He rises to transcendental consciousness by the rousing of his higher emotional nature. Tears of joy flow from his eyes, his hair stands on end, his heart melts in love. The bliss in that state is so intense that, forgetful of himself and his surroundings, he sometimes weeps profusely, or laughs, or sings, or dances; such a devotee is a purifying influence upon the whole universe.
Who can know the heart of youth but youth itself?
-Patti Smith
"Just Kids"
