Everyone has a heart, but not everyone listens to another's

About This Quote

Everyone has a heart, but not everyone listens to another's. In this quote, author Joyce Carol Oates uses the word "heart" to refer to the true feelings of an individual. She also uses the word "heart" to refer to the moral core of someone. Although the word "heart" can be used for both of these ideas, more often than not it is used in more one-sided ways.

For instance, many people use this quote without understanding that the heart is about how we feel more than it is about how we act or act on our feelings. People who believe that this quote means they should never listen to anyone else's voice are missing out on all sorts of wisdom and knowledge that others can give them through listening to their hearts.
