The human heart is beautiful.
The human heart can know secrets deeper than any mind could fathom.
The mind cannot contain G‑d,
but deep inside the heart there is a place for Him.
Yet there is nothing more dysfunctional than a brain controlled by its heart. At the heart’s command, even the finest mind is capable of the most horrid crimes.
Let the heart be quiet and hear out the mind. In that quiet listening, she will discover her true beauty; her deepest secrets will awaken.
