In their choice of lovers both the male and the female reveal their essential nature. The type of human being we prefer reveals the contours of our heart.

A skilled naturalist, by filing these materials, can reconstruct the oceanic depths from which they have been uprooted. Jose Ortega y Gasset

Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting. - Amir Khaled Hosseini
spring heart eagles
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow.

And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart. Khalil Gibran
