About This Quote

The mind wants logic and to travel in straight lines, while the heart wants to be free and travel upward in spirals to dizzying heights. We all know that we should follow the basic commandments of the Ten Commandments. However, we also know that we can’t always follow them. Sometimes we get distracted, and our minds get caught up in trivial things that do not matter at all.

There is a way out of this problem: We must use our hearts and minds together. Our minds must work to make logical choices about the trivial things in life, but our hearts must still be free to shirk them whenever they like. This is how we can get to the best places in life.
