John WilliamsIt was a passion neither of the mind nor of the heart, it was a force that comprehended them both, as if they were but the matter of love, its specific substance.
About This Quote
The secret of your happiness lies in your heart, not your mind. Your mind is the tool of love, but your heart is the seat of love itself. The heart is the organ that controls all the functions of the body, including thought. If you want to be happy, love all people for who they are, not what they can do for you.
