After all, we associate love with the heart, and, well, you've either got a whole heart, or you're dead, period. You can't, common wisdom goes, just run around dividing that one heart up freely; to claim to do so means that you're either a fool, or you're dividing up something that is dead.”

In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say:" This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.”
