How could you go about choosing something that would hold the half of your heart you had to bury?
-Jodi Picoult
"Mercy"
Sometimes, on our way through the world, we meet someone who touches our heart in a way others don't.

The very strength that protects the heart from injury is the strength that prevents the heart from enlarging to its intended greatness within. The song of the voice is sweet, but the song of the heart is the pure voice of heaven.
A heart can stop beating for a while, one can still live.

The heart knows the immensity it wants to achieve, but it is limited.
-Nadia Scrieva
A pure devotee’s heart is always filled with ideas about executing the Lord’s service, which is bestowed upon the pure devotee through the transparent medium of the spiritual master.
