De improviso

"The heart is the size of a closed fist and shaped as a pear with it small end pointing down. It's the organ that symbolizes love. It follows the rhythm of emotion. Normally, in a adult, the heart beats 60, 70 times per minute. When someone is in love their heart beats much faster. It can go uo 100 beats without then even noticing it. The heart is the last onde to die. It keeps beating even when it's taken out of the body, even when the loved one goes away, even when you don't want to ache anymore. You're no long in command when you fall in love. When your heat beats fast for another person, you're not in charge anymore. The heart takes charge. People do not know why they fall in love. They're simply overwhelmed. Sometimes they become ludicrous or confused, sometimes even dangerous." [Manuale d'Amour, filminho italiano bom de ver]
