“No, this trick won't work. . . . How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?”
What this quote means
This quote from Albert Einstein, a famous scientist, expresses the idea that certain human phenomena, like first love, escape purely scientific explanations.
