“I wish I had no heart, it aches so…”

“I was not wounded in any part of my body, but I had never experienced such intense pain, such a ripping of the nerves, such an ache of the heart.”

“I know nothing and my heart aches”

“I had given up my seat before, but this day, I was especially tired. Tired from my work as a seamstress, and tired from the ache in my heart.”

“I dwell with a strangely aching heart
In that vanished abode there far apart”

“I feel my heart ache, but I've forgotten what that feeling means.”

“Something large and happy has unfolded in my chest, erupting in a smile that won’t quit. I can’t remember ever feeling so light-hearted. Or is my heart full? Or bursting? Not aching, that’s for sure.”

“An ear can break a human heart
As quickly as a spear,
We wish the ear had not a heart
So dangerously near.”

“His loyalty, so fierce and unwavering, makes my eyes water and heart ache.”

“Sometimes I wish I had a terrible childhood, so that at least I'd have an excuse.”
