Memorable Quotes:

  1. "Can you actually get so good at love that you can fall in love with so many other people, or is there something more, perhaps something spiritual, something intellectual?"
  2. "Oxytocin floods your system with this warmth, but it takes a 20-second hug or a 6-second kiss to get the benefits."
  3. "Dopamine is your reward center, and it’s addictive. It’s what almost every video game is trying to connect with."
  4. "Low levels of serotonin are linked to obsessive thinking and mood swings, like when you can’t stop thinking about your crush."
  5. "The healthiest people typically have some of the healthiest relationships."
  6. "Love, in its purest form, becomes selfless in many ways."
  7. "There’s something spiritual about love when it’s done purely without anticipation of anything in return."
  8. "Heat can light as many flames as it wants and still retain its essential fire, much like how love can benefit the giver."
