"Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame" — Pearl Sydenstricker Buck

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.

Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart

In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose

Pearl Sydenstricker Buck Quote
