There is nothing in this world that never takes a step outside a person's heart.

Haruki Murakami
About This Quote

In the English language, the word heart when used as a noun means “the center of one's life or feelings.” The word is also used when referring to the physical organ that pumps blood through your body. In this quote, the author is using a metaphor in which he is saying that there is nothing in this world that never takes a step outside a person's heart. In other words, everything in this world is not necessarily personal. There are sometimes things in this world that cannot be understood by just looking at them from one angle. In order for these things to be fully understood, they must be looked at from different angles and from different points of view.
