Helen Fisher
Romantic love is not an emotion. ... It's a drive. It comes from the motor of the mind, the wanting part of the mind, the craving part of the mind.
Helen Fisher
In courtship, who wins and who loses will determine who passes on their DNA to tomorrow.
Helen Fisher
When people tell you to walk a certain way, it's like not thinking of a purple tomato. You can't not do it.
