About This Quote
The heart is a strange beast and not ruled by logic. The heart can be utterly irrational, but its radical emotions make it the most powerful force in the world. If the rules of logic were the only law in the world, then we would live in a kind of Darwinian nightmare where nothing would ever be right or wrong. The truth, however, is that even in our lives, we have to allow for a certain amount of emotional reasoning when it comes to judging situations and people.
In this quote, Shakespeare is saying that the heart is not governed by logic. It’s ruled by emotion. We can’t always rely on logic when making decisions, so it’s important to take into account our own emotions.
