Heart Quotes

You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel.

In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote.

William Shakespeare

I tend to think that there's an element of music that cannot be captured. Life cannot be captured. The human heart cannot be captured. The moment of creation
itself is fleeting.

Hachiko: A Dog's Story

— I will burn the heart out of you.
— I have been reliably informed that I don't have one.

False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

Men set out on their way in express trains, but they do not know what they are looking for.
Then they rush about, and get excited, and turn round and round...
It is not worth the trouble... But the eyes are blind.
One must look with the heart..

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Don't you suppose I know that you've lain in my arms and pretended I was Ashley Wilkes? Pleasant thing, that. Rather ghostly, in fact. Like having three in a bed where there ought to be just two." Oh, yes, you've been faithful to me because Ashley wouldn't have you. But, hell, I wouldn't have grudged him your body. I know how little bodies mean — especially women's bodies. But I do grudge him your heart and your dear, hard, unscrupulous, stubborn mind. He doesn't want your mind, the fool, and I don't want your body. I can buy women cheap. But I do want your mind and your heart, and I'll never have them, any more than you'll ever have Ashley's mind. And that's why I'm sorry for you.

Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically... to those who hardly think about us in return.

The heart dies a slow death. Shedding each hope like leaves. Until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.

The most dangerous demons live in our hearts.

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.

I wonder why you tug so at my nonexistent heart?

She had come back into his life like a sudden flame; blazing and streaming into his heart...

He’s not a human being; and he has no claim on my charity. I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death, and flung it back to me.

— You’re stealing my heart again...
— How many hearts do you have?!

This is far more intimate, this is your heart and you should never let it rule your head. You could have chosen any number and walked out with everything. But you just couldn't resist it, could you?
