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
Until recently, we regarded love as supernatural. We were willing to study the brain chemistry of fear and depression and anger but not love.
