Quote by Jeanette Winterson

You never give away your heart you lend it from time to time. If it were not so, how could we take it back without asking?

You never give away your heart you lend it from time to time

Summary

This quote suggests that we do not truly give away our hearts, but rather, we lend them to others temporarily. It implies that we maintain some level of control and ownership over our hearts, as we even have the ability to take them back without seeking permission. In essence, it emphasizes the idea that we should be cautious about who we give our hearts to, as they are not permanently bestowed upon others, but rather entrusted for a limited period.

In the second half of life the necessity is imposed of recognizing no longer the validity of our former ideals but of their contraries.
