Jean de la Bruyere Heart Quotations

I call those men worldly, earthly, or coarse, whose hearts and minds are wholly fixed on this earth, that small part of the universe they are placed in ; who value and love nothing beyond it ; whose minds are as cramped as that narrow spot of ground they call their estate, of which the extent is measured, the acres are numbered, and the limits well known.

Some people pretend they never were in love and never wrote poetry; two weaknesses which they dare not own -- one of the heart, the other of the mind.

The majority of women have no principles of their own; they are guided by the heart, and depend for their own conduct, upon that of the men they love.

We are more sociable, and get on better with people by the heart than the intellect.

We never love with all our heart and all our soul but once, and that is the first time.
