The boy’s skeletal frame was now all that remained of him, and through his flesh could be seen the steady beat of his indomitable heart.

About This Quote

Many people think that the most important part of a human body is the heart. However, John Steinbeck said it best: “The boy’s skeletal frame was now all that remained of him, and through his flesh could be seen the steady beat of his indomitable heart.” The heart beats on and on, even when there is no longer any living tissue to pump blood through.
