Nature is not the number-one mystery, I’ve learned. It’s the heart that takes top honors.

About This Quote

To a certain extent, the heart is the mystery of life. We do not know how it works or why it beats. We have no idea what goes on inside of it or how it affects our bodies from the outside. A person could say that the brain is more mysterious, but it does have some sense of control over the heart’s impulses.
