Quote by Mignon McLaughlin

The head never rules the heart, but just becomes its partner in crime.

The head never rules the heart, but just becomes its partner

Summary

This quote suggests that rational thinking or the mind cannot always control our emotions or desires. The "head" symbolizes logic, reason, and control, while the "heart" represents emotions, instincts, and desires. Despite our best intentions, sometimes our emotions overpower reason and lead us astray. Instead of the mind controlling the heart, it suggests that they work together, sometimes collaborating in questionable decision-making. The quote implies that our emotions can influence and cloud our reasoning, making us more prone to making impulsive or potentially harmful choices.
