My first thought after reading this was "what?", but now, after looking into it, I understand. It kind of means, to me, that the heart can make you think things, although the things your heart makes you think may not make sense. Your heart may make you feel compassion or love for something that shouldn't be, that makes no sense. For example, your heart might feel really bad for a murder since he will have jail for life, but in reality, he should deserve that, and more. For some reason our hearts and our minds think differently, want different things. In a lot of circumstances, especially when dealing with love, people will go the way their hearts tell them to go. Your brain will tell you things based off of rational or "reason" as in the quote. I don't believe that people should choose the same one every time, but there are times when one's appropriate and the others not. Our hearts don't tell us only good, as our minds don't always tell us the right reason, both can trick us. But your heart gives you a chance to explore your creativity. I mean, where would people be if we strictly went by reason. Medieval Europe did it but during the time of the renaissance it changed to thinking with your heart. "Think with your heart" or "your heart tells you" aren't literal, I mean your heart can't exactly talk, but it's your creative thinking. You're out of the box thinking rather than just intellectual thinking. The quote says how powerful our hearts are; even if we don't exactly think it's true. He's saying that the heart basically has its own little mind, and it has so much influence on us as humans, that the heart almost blinds people of their other thoughts.
