Helen Fisher
We all have restlessness in long-term relationships.
Helen Fisher
At first I assumed hate was the opposite of love. But it isn't. The opposite of love is indifference.
Helen Fisher
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
People compose poetry, novels, sitcoms - for love.
Helen Fisher
