“Passion arises from the heart, and your heart's impulse is more likely to be closer to the truth than your mind's analysis.”

“You can contain the passion of your heart no more than I can control the breath that I take.”

“But heart's desires? My dear, I see by your misery - by this very request you are making - that you know more of true men's and women's hearts than once you did, than your mother's world permitted you to see. Such chipped and cracked and outright broken things they are, are they not? They have their illnesses too, and their impulses. And hearts are not always connected well to minds, and even if they are, minds are not always clear and commonsensical. A heart may desire a thing powerfully indeed, but that heart's desire might be what a person least needs, for her health, for her continuing happiness.”

“Your eyes will always be closer to your soul than to any other part of your body except the heart.”

“Fill your mind with truth. Fill your life with service. Fill your heart with love.”

“Never separate your mind from your heart when making relationship decisions. The purpose of the mind is to protect the heart.”
