I am my heart’s undertaker. Daily I go and retrieve its tattered remains, place them delicately into its little coffin, and bury it in the depths of my memory, only to have to do it all again tomorrow.

About This Quote

In a time of evil, a man will bury his heart. He does this by putting it into a little coffin and burying it deep in his memory until the day that he is able to say that he has forgotten. In true love, there is no evil. The love of God is eternal and therefore cannot be forgotten. When we fall in love with someone, we are not only falling in love with that person but also with God who has loved us since before time began.
