When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor, like armor that imprisons the softness of of the heart.
Come on, is your heart a sponge or a fist?
The hardness of the human heart makes no sense.
sometimes I think I've got this hard kernel in my heart, and nothing much can get inside it. I doubt if I can really love anybody.
Flints may be melted - we see it daily - but an ungrateful heart cannot be; not by the strongest and noblest flame.
The thing which grieves and oppresses my heart with respect to poor Scotland, is the hardness of heart manifest in the levity and cruelty with which they speak of others.
Weep all the artful tears you like. You shall never make my hard heart the softer.
We made mad love shadow love random love and abandoned love. Accidentally like a martyr. The hurt gets worse, and the heart gets harder.
