There are cognitive processes and limbic reactions associated with basic emotions. And you can change brain chemistry, but you're still not going to change memories and experiences in a human being.

More quotes by 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
High heels can literally raise your status because you're taller when you wear them.
Helen Fisher
You can get into a very fancy car and know everything about the engine, but when you drive in that car, you feel that rush. In the same way, I think the more you know about love, the more you can enjoy it. And knowing about your personality type, who you are and what kind of person you're dealing with gives you a great leg up.
Helen Fisher
You can really get poked in the back and not feel it very much, but just a feather around your lips and you really do feel it.
Helen Fisher
The Great Depression of the 1930s saw more American unmarried women working from nine to five, mostly in repetitive, boring, subordinate, dead-end jobs. But the number of working women doubled between 1870 and 1940. During World War II it doubled once again.
Helen Fisher
I don’t think we’re an animal that was built to be happy we are an animal that was built to reproduce.
Helen Fisher
Mothers really were not built to raise babies not only by themselves, but with only a partner. For millions of years, a woman had much more than just her husband to help rear her young... This whole idea of 'it takes a village to raise a child' is exactly how we're supposed to live.
Helen Fisher
We spend our lives trying to get along with people so we can keep our jobs, keep our marriages together, so that we can raise our kids properly.
Helen Fisher
Nobody gets out of love alive. You turn into a menace or a pest when you've been rejected.
Helen Fisher
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
If two very different people pool their DNA, they'll create more genetic variety, and their young will come to the job of parenting with a wider array of skills.
Helen Fisher
love is like Someone is camping in your head
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
Globalization requires taking a broad contextual and long-term view.
Helen Fisher
Women like signs of money and education - things that indicate that not only is this guy going to have some resources, but he's also willing to share them.
Helen Fisher
Scientists know that women gravitate to men who have a different immune system from theirs.
Helen Fisher
My hypothesis is that conservative Republicans have very clear values, and when you have that, you're simply more relaxed.
Helen Fisher
Throughout evolution, ostracism was death indeed.
Helen Fisher
When you massage someone, the levels of oxytocin go up in the brain, and oxytocin is one of the chemicals that drives attachment.
