Heart Shaped World

Famous quotes containing the words heart, shaped and/or world:

    Both equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss:
    My true love hath my heart and I have his.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.
    Elizabeth Debold (20th century)

    And, even yet, I dare not let it languish,
    Dare not indulge in memory’s rapturous pain;
    Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
    How could I seek the empty world again?
    Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
