About This Quote
"Emotion as well as reason belongs to the very stuff of history," a quote from a speech by Martin Luther King Jr. , tells us that being human is a mix of reason and emotions. He was reminding people that while emotion can be part of the solution, it can also be part of the problem. In too many cases, emotion can get in the way of rational decision making.
