Philip SidneyMy true-love hath my heart and I have his, By just exchange one for the other given: I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss; There never was a bargain better driven.
About This Quote
The idea of love can be confusing at times, especially for younger minds. And, the notion of giving up what you love to gain something else is not something that should be suggested lightly. But, perhaps there is some truth to the idea that you can trade your heart for someone else’s. As long as you are careful to ensure that person's happiness comes before yours, then the idea of exchanging hearts might make sense.
