The soul, Daffy says, is not necessarily where the heart is.

About This Quote

The soul, Daffy says, is not necessarily where the heart is. She’s quoting a fellow duck. The heart is often given as the seat of emotion and feeling. In reality it’s the brain that does all of those things, but it doesn’t matter because everything we feel and think is at least a little bit emotional. We have emotions, reactions and feelings for many reasons, from being happy to being angry to being sad to finding a lost loved one to anything in between.
