Helen Fisher quotes about
Romantic love is deeply embedded in the architecture and chemistry of the human brain, ... Why We Love.
People live for love. They kill for love. They die for love. They have songs, poems, novels, sculptures, paintings, myths, legends. It's one of the most powerful brain systems on Earth for both great joy and great sorrow.

A world without love is a deadly place.
My hypothesis is that conservative Republicans have very clear values, and when you have that, you're simply more relaxed.

You know, when you've been dumped, the one thing you love to do is just forget about this human being, and then go on with your life - but no, you just love them harder.
