No matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
-Farazz Kazi
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.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Srimad Bhagavatam 11.8"
Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.
-Jimmy Dean
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.

He who is in the fire, and he who is here in the heart, and he who is yonder in the sun - he is One.
- Upanishads "Maitri Upanishad"

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing
