A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with sense and no heart.

"What a fool you must be," said my head to my heart, or my sterner to my softer self.

Probably I am a fool…most poets are fools…but for some reason I love faith, but have none.

But once I had brains, and a heart also; so, having tried them both, I should much rather have a heart.
