The quote from today's AWAD: "A good heart is better than all the heads in the world." -Edward Bulwer-Lytton, writer (1803-1873)

This may or may not be true, but in B-L's case, a little more head and less heart would no doubt have improved his style:

"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in
London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."
