Quotations
Heart
No matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
-Farazz Kazi
Meditating on the lotus of your heart, in the centre is the untainted, the exquisitely pure, clear and sorrowless, the inconceivable, the unmanifest, of infinite form, blissful, tranquil, immortal, the womb of Brahma.

"The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making"
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"
A woman's head is always influenced by her heart; but a man's heart by his head.
-Lady Marguerite Blessington
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
-Nelson Mandela
Above all else, guard your heart for it affects everything else you do.
-Anonymous
"Holy Bible: New International Version"
The harder you fall, the heavier your heart; the heavier your heart, the stronger you climb; the stronger you climb, the higher your pedestal.
-Criss Jami
Hunger of the heart is much stronger than hunger for food.
-Amanda Comer
