“The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart.”

“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.”

“The thing with your heart's desire is that your heart doesn't even know what it desires until it turns up.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Deny your desires and you will find what your heart longs for. For how do you know if any desire of yours is according to God?”

“There are things that you can't do - like writing letters to a part of yourself. To your feet or hair. Or heart.”

“There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.”

“If you can't tell your sister,
If you can't tell a priest,
'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it
To anyone,
Can you tell it to your heart?
Can you find it in your heart
To let go of these feelings…”

“You can't reason with your heart; it has its own laws, and thumps about things which the intellect scorns.”
