“It isn't always easy to act on what's in your head instead of what's in your heart. And it isn't always right to.”

Athyra (1993)
Context: It isn't always easy to act on what's in your head instead of what's in your heart. And it isn't always right to. The whole trick to knowing what to do is deciding when to make yourself listen to your head, and when it's okay to just follow your feelings.
