It's a most distressing affliction to have a sentimental heart and a skeptical mind.

About This Quote

A sentimental heart is a heart that has strong emotions that are very easy to feel. A sentimental heart makes it hard for a person to see the world with clear eyes, because they're always seeing through rose-colored glasses. They can't tell reality from fantasy. A sentimental heart is one that loves and loses easily, and is often hurt when people don't return their affections. A skeptical mind is a mind that does not readily believe in anything other than what it already knows to be true. Someone with a skeptical mind is always needing proof before believing anything, and will never stop questioning until they have every possibility laid out before them and proven wrong.
