Sometimes, the only soul that can mend a broken heart is the one that broke it. For they are the ones holding all the pieces.

"The Angels Are Here"
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should obey it.
-C. S. Lewis
"The Abolition of Man"
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
He who nurtures benevolence for all creatures with in his heart overcomes all difficulties and will be the recipient of all types of riches at every step.
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 pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.
-Jacqueline Carey
"Kushiel's Chosen"
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.
A woman's head is always influenced by her heart; but a man's heart by his head.
-Lady Marguerite Blessington
