“Romantic love is an addiction.” — Helen Fisher Quote

“Romantic love is an addiction.”

“In courtship, who wins and who loses will determine who passes on their DNA to tomorrow.”

“You can be instantly scared. You can be instantly happy. So why can't you be instantly romantically in love? I think when it happens, it's because you are ready to fall in love.”

“Learning about all those different things psychologically - about grief and my own addictions and problems and stuff like that, and really getting an education on it, I think it was part of the process of it, learning about it and trying to lick it.”

“I think what television and video games do is reminiscent of drug addiction. There's a measure of reinforcement and a behavioural loop.”

“In the summer of 1991, I was on the first Lollapalooza tour. Nightly, I would watch Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell go out in front of a sea of people and within minutes have all of them in the palm of his hand. I have never seen anything like it since.”
