About This Quote
The human heart is unknowable. It is impossible to know what is going on inside another person's head, but it is easy to know what is going on inside our own. For example, it may be hard to understand why someone treats us so harshly, but it is easy to know if we are being treated well or not. The human heart can be known by what one does and does not do.
