"The head never rules the heart, but just becomes its partner in crime"
- Mignon McLaughlin
About this Quote
This quote by Mignon McLaughlin talks to the suggestion that the head and also the heart are 2 different entities that can work together. The head is the sensible, rational part of us that makes decisions based on truths and evidence. The heart is the psychological, instinctive component of us that chooses based on sensations and also impulse. The head never rules the heart, but instead operates in tandem with it. The head can provide the realities and also proof to support the heart's decisions, as well as the heart can provide the psychological context to the head's choices. Together, they can develop a well balanced approach to decision-making. The head and also the heart can end up being partners in crime, interacting to choose that are both logical and psychologically satisfying.
"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus"
"At the heart of the Reggio Emilia approach is the belief that children are full of potential, competent, and capable of constructing their own learning"
"A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, A song's not a song 'til you sing it, Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, Love isn't love 'til you give it away!"
