Hearts Desire Quotes

“She was a very pretty woman. She had dark red hair and her eyes- her eyes are just like mine, Harry thought, edging a little closer to the glass. Bright green- exactly the same shape, but then he noticed that she was crying; smiling, but crying at the same time. The tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm around her. He wore glasses, and his hair was very untidy. It stuck up at the back, just as Harry's did.
Harry was so close to the mirror now that his nose was nearly touching that of his reflection.
"Mom?" he whispered. "Dad?"
They just looked at him, smiling. And slowly, Harry looked into the faces of the other people in the mirror, and saw other pairs of green eyes like his, other noses like his, even a little old man who looked as though he had Harry's knobbly knees- Harry was looking at his family, for the first time in his life.
The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. He had a powerful kind of ache inside him, half joy, half terrible sadness.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

“He wagged his tail, and his whole body tingled. He realized the emptiness inside was not filled with happiness. Blue felt a glow within that was a result of more than just the warm sunshine on a spring day.
It was more than just the gentle tumble of the waterfall, or the wind or the sound of birds. It was much, much more he knew. He looked about him and he knew he had found what he had been looking for.
He had found more than his true heart's desire...
He had found a forever home!”
― Michael Delaware, Blue and the Magical Forest: The Power of Hopes and Dreams

“My hearts desired divine twins,

“As the next Cinderella, she would have to marry whichever fairytale prince ended up in her story.
But she couldn't help making a small, secret wish that her assigned prince might be the kind who would grab her hand and run off into the woods- build a tree house with her or lie back and watch the stars come out through the canopy.
The kind of person who would make a birdhouse for a family of robins.
She didn't care about a fancy palace and loads of dresses. Just a cozy cottage somewhere- perhaps with an attached two-story, fully-stocked shoe shed. And a guy with dirt under his fingernails and goodness in his heart.”
― Shannon Hale, Once Upon a Time: A Story Collection

“Looking back, I now realize that I left home in search of all the things that were right in the very place I left.”

“When I read that my words can inspire a little girl, I feel my struggle is worth it.

Why do we give so much importance to our external looks? A beautiful heart that is inside us will remain beautiful forever. Our hearts are not black or white. Neither are our hearts fat or thin. Our hearts only beat for love. Our hearts are the same! Our hearts only want love! ♥️”
― Avijeet Das

“Sometimes the most dangerous thing of all in matters of love was to be granted your heart's desire.”
― Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic

“You should open a shop, Geppetto. A toy shop. I can already imagine what joy you'd bring to the children."
"A toy shop?" Geppetto pretended he'd never dreamt of such a thing. "Oh, no, no. There's no future for a toy maker here."
"Is that you speaking," said Chiara softly, "or your father?"
It astounded him how easily she saw into his heart. No one had said that to him before. Was that why the fairies had come to her, because she could read his dreams and the fears that hindered them?”
― Elizabeth Lim, When You Wish Upon a Star

“Every time he saw her, every time he thought about her--- every time he smelled vanilla or caramel or chocolate--- she was the food that fed his desires. Her kisses tasted of pralines, her thick blond hair smelled of coconut cake, and her shoulders made him think of white chocolate macarons.”
― Karen Hawkins, The Secret Recipe of Ella Dove
