Quote by Stephen King

The mind can calculate, but the spirit yearns, and the heart wants what the heart wants.

The mind can calculate, but the spirit yearns, and the heart

Summary

This quote emphasizes the contrast between the rational mind and the emotional desires of the heart and spirit. It suggests that while the mind may engage in logical calculations, the heart and spirit long for something more abstract and deeply personal. It implies that there are certain things that cannot be understood or explained by mere calculations, as the heart desires what it desires regardless of rationality or reason. Ultimately, it highlights the complexity of human emotions and the power they hold over our choices and aspirations.

It seems to me that the great pleasure of human life is not in having an opinion, but rather in learning all the ways you are wrong, and all the nuances you failed to account for, and all the truths that turned out to be not as simple as you once believed.
