Quotes & Sayings About Grinch's Heart

Do you remember in How the Grinch Stole Christmas! when the Grinch is alone on the mountain after plundering the Christmas of the Whos down below, and his heart swells to three times its normal size?

May have been that his heart was two sizes too small. — Dr. Seuss

You've got garlic in your soul. — Dr. Seuss
