Helen Fisher
Men and women are like two feet they can help each other get ahead.
Helen Fisher
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.
Helen Fisher

Helen Fisher
The human brain is built to compare it's Darwinian to consider an alternative when one presents itself.
Helen Fisher
We're not very dangerous animals we don't have a horn like a rhino or quills like a porcupine.
Helen Fisher
There exists no culture in which adultery is unknown, no cultural device or code that extinguishes philandering.
Helen Fisher
Neither gender is routinely more jealous - although women are more willing to work to win back a lover, while men tend to flaunt their money and status and are more likely to walk out to protect their self-esteem or save face.
Helen Fisher
