Hearts Quotes

There comes with old age a time when the heart is no longer fusible or malleable, and must retain the form in which it has cooled down. ~ Uncle Silas by J. Sheridan Le Fanu The beating of my heart was so violent and wild that I felt as if my life were breaking from me. ~ Bleak House by Charles Dickens "But there is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only; faith, but on one side only; devotion, but on one side only, and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken." ~ An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde It is thyself, mine own self's better part;
Mine eye's clear eye, my dear heart's dearer heart;
My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope's aim,
My sole earth's heaven, and my heaven's claim. ~ The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare "You people with hearts," he said, "have something to guide you, and need never do wrong." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum "I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum "I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum "All the same," said the Scarecrow, "I shall ask for brains instead of a heart; for a fool would not know what to do with a heart if he had one." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum "To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; and to forgo even ambition when the end is gained--who can say this is not greatness." ~ The Virginians by William Makepeace Thackeray "Sorrow concealed, like an oven stopp'd,
Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is." ~ Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare
