                    Scars are tattoos - with better stories.

The heart is not simply suspended in a body but in a culture, a place, a time.
Mimi Guarneri, The Heart Speaks:
 A Cardiologist Reveals the Secret Language of Healing

they cannot be trampled on without peril.

so it has become a fiend and has plagued them.  Augustus and Julius Hare

Man has made many machines, complex and cunning, 
but which of them indeed rivals the workings of his heart?  Pablo Casals

What fools indeed we mortals are, To lavish care upon a Car,
With ne'er a bit of time to see, About our own machinery!   John Kendrick Bangs
