“Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.”

“Sex means nothing--just the moment of ecstasy, that flares and dies in minutes.”

“A book is a heart that only beats in the chest of another.”

“Can a heart break, once it's stopped beating?”

“The air is bright with hues of light
And rich with laughter and with singing:
Young hearts beat high in ecstasy,
And banners wave, and bells are ringing:
But silence falls with fading day,
And there's an end to mirth and play.
Ah, well-a-day!”

“[Demystifying lesbian sex for an interviewer] In a way, the sex isn’t really that different… From what I can tell, no, not really. All the things that men and women do together, think of everything that men and women do together, women and women can do together. And that makes you realize that sex is just simply about connecting with another person, or about intimacy…”

“You know, a heart can be broken, but it keeps on beating, just the same.”

“Your heart literally hurts when it's breaking. You can feel it, every beat another ache, and nothing you can do will stop it, either from beating or breaking.”

“I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and souls. ”

“Here are fruits, flowers, leaves and branches, and here is my heart which beats only for you.”
