Some of the best movies made during the Depression were also about the Depression, though a number of later productions captured the era just as w...| History Facts
We recognize it instantly: two rounded lobes meeting at a point, the universal symbol of love. The heart shape is found everywhere — on greeting cards, jewelry, bumper stickers, and emoji keyboards.

So where did the symbol come from? The answer lies in a long history shaped by philosophy,...| History Facts
