If the human heart becomes worthless in the eyes of creatures, so that a person himself shuns it and would not dare to show it, let alone offer it to any other creature, he still has God, who despises even the worst heart if it is presented to Him. God accepts even the weakest and worst of all hearts; He is satisfied with every heart given, because in His wisdom and omniscience, He knows even its most secret and hidden value, and for God, a human heart has a completely different worth than for people. As a reward for the human heart, God gives His own heart; for the whole human heart, He gives His whole heart.
(Jaroslav Durych, Heart and Cross, private print of the magazine Na hlubinu, 1932)
