Heaven-born, The Soul A Heavenward Course Must Hold Beyond The World She Soars The Wise Man, I Affirm, Can Find No Rest In That Which Perishes, Nor Will He Lend His Heart To Ought That Doth Time Depend.
~ Michelangelo Buonarroti Religion Is Not What You Will Get After Reading All The Scriptures Of The World. It Is Not Really What Is Grasped By The Grain. It Is A Heart Grasp.

~ Lord Byron I? Ve Seen Too Much Hate To Want To Hate, Myself, And Every Time I See It, I Say To Myself, Hate Is Too Great A Burden To Bear. Somehow We Must Be Able To Stand Up Against Our Most Bitter Opponents And Say:? We Shall Match Your Capacity To Inflict Suffering By Our Capacity To Endure Suffering. We Will Meet Your Physical Force With Soul Force. Do To Us What You Will And We Will Still Love You.... But Be Assured That We? Ll Wear You Down By Our Capacity To Suffer, And One Day We Will Win Our Freedom. We Will Not Only Win Freedom For Ourselves; We Will Appeal To Your Heart And Conscience That We Will Win You In The Process, And Our Victory Will Be A Double Victory.

~ Richard Adams The Man Who Backbites An Absent Friend, Nay, Who Does Not Stand Up For Him When Another Blames Him, The Man Who Angles For Bursts Of Laughter And For The Repute Of A Wit, Who Can Invent What He Never Saw, Who Cannot Keep A Secret - That Man Is Black At Heart Mark And Avoid Him.
~ Cicero There Are Words Which Sever Hearts More Than Sharp Swords; There Are Words The Point Of Which Sting The Heart Through The Course Of A Whole Life.
~ Frederika Breme What Comes From The Heart Goes To The Heart.
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge Young Love Is A Flame; Very Pretty, Often Very Hot And Fierce, But Still Only Light And Flickering. The Love Of The Older And Disciplined Heart Is As Coals, Deep Burning, Unquenchable.
~ Henry Ward Beeche There Are Many Ways Of Breaking A Heart. Stories Were Full Of Hearts Being Broken By Love, But What Really Broke A Heart Was Taking Away Its Dream-whatever That Dream Might Be.
