People in love overvalue their heart and undervalue their mind.

About This Quote

People in love overvalue their heart and undervalue their mind. This is perhaps the most famous quote of all time about romantic love. It's an interesting idea, but unfortunately it's not true. The reason people say this is because they're making the false assumption that all of your thoughts are just your thoughts, and that love can't affect them.

That's not true, though. Love can affect every one of your thoughts, even if you don't realize it. Love can affect everything you do, every decision you make, every word you say.

When you're in love, you get so caught up in thinking about how someone else makes you feel, that you overlook the fact that they also know things about you that would make them better to be around than someone who didn't know them at all. They care about your opinions and ideas and lifestyle choices without having to be told. When you're in love, everything makes sense to you because it's someone else who makes everything make sense to you.

That's what makes all the difference in the world.
