6 QUOTES WITH «HEARTSTRINGS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word heartstrings.
1
Piers Corbyn
Polar bears did very well in the warmer times. They didn't die out at all; they didn't die out in the last 10,000 years, nor during the previous interglacial, nor the one before that. So, they're just used as a deceitful heartthrob; you know, to pluck your heartstrings because the polar bears might die out.
2
Amanda Donohoe
I loved living in Hollywood - and the weather there was just fantastic - but there is something about rural England, and especially Suffolk and Norfolk, that pulls at my heartstrings.
3
Dennis Gabor
Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them.
4
Ella Henderson

Angela Kinsey
I have a special place in my heart for working moms - it's a constant pull on your heartstrings.
