“Do you appreciate that an oyster has, among its other organs, a heart?”

“The secret must stay and- according to scientists- the love will live. The heart is quite comfortable with secrets. After all, its home is a dark wet place tucked in among all the other organs who aren't talking either.”

“It is man's unique privilege, among all other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth!”

“You know as well as I do that the heart is a fascinating organ. It's barely as large as a fist and yet it has the capacity to love a hundred people, each one in a different way."-Yvonne Elliot”

“People think of hearts when they think of love, but a heart is a bloody organ in the body. It doesn't have any emotions. It's like a metaphor for love that has nothing to do with what love actually is.”

“A writer is an organism that will go on writing even after its heart has been cut out.”
