Fool of a Took

A phrase used by one Gandalf the Grey, the famous, kindly wizard from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It is used during the Mines of Moria scene in the first in the trilogy, the Fellowship of the Ring. Gandalf says it to Peregrin "Pippin" Took, to display his anger and fustration directing at him for knocking a skeleton down a well, alerting the orcs of their whereabouts and putting the entire fellowship in danger once again.

"FOOL OF A TOOK!!!
Throw yourself in next time, and rid us of your stupidity!!"

-Gandalf the Grey

Foolish Heart

a "foolish" heart is a naive and gullible heart.

Just because you may have a foolish heart doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.. your just one of the many who’s heart has been broken so much to the point where the slightest bit of affection or “love” makes you fall for a person easy... and often may lead to even more heartbreak. Everyone in this world has heart but it’s how you use it that really matters... in this world with so much bad, your doing so much good and yet you still end up being the one heart broken left wondering why you can’t be happy.. blaming everything on your foolish heart.
