The ways of the heart are complex.” He looked out at the ocean again. “The waves churn and break upon the rocks, Talon. So do human feelings. Passion can be a man’s undoing. With passion must come wisdom; otherwise, your enemies have a weapon to use against you.

About This Quote

When you are in love, you cannot make any logical decisions. Your heart dictates the choices you make. The only way to overcome this passion is to be wise and aware of your feelings, not to make rash decisions. No matter how much you love someone at the time, you should never feel like their actions are part of who they are or who they will be. People change and it may take some time for them to act on their desires but if they cannot act responsibly, then they should not be allowed near you.
