Irrational Quote by Anonymous
“You hear that love is irrational all the time, yet you still hear the same people saying that love is enough to keep two people together. Unfortunately, we live in a world governed by rationality, and while love may be irrational, and we may manage to make it work for some time, the real world always catches up with us and our irrational illusions dissipate into thin air. Then we are left with reality and reality doesnt always reason the way lovers do.”

![“My greatest personal mistake is ever to allow a word or moment that “doesn’t count,” i.e., that I do not refer to my own basic principles. Every word, every action, every moment counts. (This is the pattern on which everybody makes mistakes [or] becomes irrational — not relating their one action…” quote by Ayn Rand](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/cf6/ayn-rand-59_action_my-greatest-personal-mistake-is-ever-to_36324.jpg)
