Felix Quotes

“That’s the midbrain’s ventral tegmental area. Its primary function, above all else, is the assessment of need. It’s what drives us to eat and drink to stay alive. People like to think of love as this wild, intangible thing, lust-driven and passionate. But look.” Christian looks over at the brain map for pleasure again. “It’s not the same,” I point out. “When you fall in love…that person becomes a necessity. Your brain lights up the same way it does when you eat or drink or breathe air. That person—loving that person—is something your body has adapted to and now views as essential to your survival. And that…” I huff a laugh, shrugging. “I don’t know. I guess that’s more romantic to me than passion ever could be.”
