Just the basic principles of what makes America work for me are very strong in my heart. It's like no other nation in the world.
I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I'm a tomboy at heart, too.
You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phoney stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they're mean bastards at heart.
In my heart, I'm just a kid from the council houses. I can remember the old cottage and my dad coming round with the tin bath. I'm not a rich man.
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.
The Negro people of America... have cut our forests, tilled our fields, built our railroads, fought our battles, and in all of their trials they have manifested a simple faith, a grateful heart, a cheerful spirit, and an undivided loyalty .
In the deep corner of my heart, I'm a Chicagoan, but it's been covered over by 20 years of living in the Bay Area.
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours.
Poland should be strong and prosperous and independent and play its proper role as a great nation in the heart of Europe.
Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
I prayed like a man walking in a forest at night, feeling his way with his hands, at each step fearing to fall into pure bottomlessness forever. Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart.
To the solemn graves, near a lonely cemetery, my heart like a muffled drum is beating funeral marches.
What power can poverty have over a home where loving hearts are beating with a consciousness of untold riches of the head and heart?
The idea of a spiritual heart transplant is a vivid image to me; once you have the heart of somebody else inside you, then that heart is there. Jesus' heart is inside me, and my heart is gone. So if God were to place a stethoscope against my chest, he would hear the heart of Jesus Christ beating.
As long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.
Some women feel the best cure for a broken heart is a new beau.
Since Beau's death, I'm definitely shattered. I feel like a piece of china that's been glued back together again. The cracks may be imperceptible-but they're there. Look closely, and you can see the glue holding me together, the precarious edges that vein through my heart. I am not the same. I feel it every day.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
