Victor HugoWhen the heart is dry the eye is dry.
About This Quote
"When the heart is dry the eye is dry" is a saying that gives us an insight into how people feel when they hurt someone they love. The heart is the center of our emotions, and when it dries up, so does our ability to see clearly. It’s not necessarily that the eye is dried out but it’s probably because of the pain experienced by the heart.
