have the heart of stone

The Spanish phrase 'tener el corazón de piedra' translates to 'have the heart of stone' in English. This is a metaphorical phrase often used to describe someone who is emotionally cold or unfeeling. This person may be perceived as lacking empathy, compassion, or emotional responsiveness, much like a stone, which is inanimate and unresponsive. This expression can be used in various contexts, often to characterize individuals who are indifferent to the feelings or needs of others.
