Experiences shape the brain, but the brain shapes the way we view experiences, too.
Helen Fisher
Image
You've got to remember that men are men and women are women. And although a lot of similarities, there are some real differences.
Helen Fisher
Image
I think romantic love evolved to enable you to focus your mating energy on just one individual at a time, thereby conserving mating time and energy.
Helen Fisher
Image
Along with our many human propensities, we evolved a huge cerebral cortex with which we make decisions.

Image
Romantic love is an addiction.
Helen Fisher
Image
There were real reasons that you were attracted to somebody originally. The brain doesn't pick willy-nilly. Unless you part ways hating each other for some reason, that mechanism could get triggered again. You can literally fall in love again.

Helen Fisher
Image
Liberals and conservatives are looking for entirely different things. Their attitudes toward romance and how they court are really dramatically different. There's almost no overlap.
Helen Fisher
Image
When you're in the throes of this romantic love, it's overwhelming - you're out of control, you're irrational, you're going to the gym at 6 A.M. every day - Why? Because she's there.
Helen Fisher
Image
Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.
Helen Fisher
Image
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
Image
We still have community, but we don't seem to have local community. Even in a small town where you know your neighbors and your mother's down the street, they're not in arm's length.
Helen Fisher
Image
In courtship, who wins and who loses will determine who passes on their DNA to tomorrow.
Helen Fisher
Image
Until recently, we regarded love as supernatural. We were willing to study the brain chemistry of fear and depression and anger but not love.
