RELATIONSHIP QUOTES IV
quotations about relationships
It doesn't matter what kind of world we live in as long as we have each other.
WALTER WYKES
The Profession
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
ANTHONY ROBBINS
Awaken the Giant Within
One must preserve some mystery in one's relationship.... A book that one has not read yet is always more exciting than a book one has memorized.
CASSANDRA CLARE
City of Lost Souls
When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you got two new people. Maybe that means -- hell, it's complicated.
JOHN STEINBECK
The Winter of Our Discontent
I guess U know me well, I don't like winter
But I seem 2 get a kick out of doing U cold
Oh, what the hell, U always surrender
What's this strange relationship that we hold on 2?
Baby I just can't stand 2 see U happy
More than that I hate 2 see U sad
Honey if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)
PRINCE
"Strange Relationship"
We live in a time when the deepest and most painful need of the human person is for intrinsic worth, unconditional acceptance that does not depend on being good, right, controlled, conformist, or on being pretty, young, successful, rich, employed. Or on being straight, white and male. But if people do not hear the word that says, 'yes, you are accepted' through the meaningful framework of faith; if they do not hear it through their belonging within an accepting community; if they do not hear it through their closeness to the land; then people increasingly and only seek and hope to hear it in their personal, and especially sexual, relationships.
KATHY GALLOWAY
introduction, Dreaming of Eden
Every relationship is fundamentally a power struggle, and the individual in power is whoever likes the other person less.
CHUCK KLOSTERMAN
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto
I do think on some basic level we are animals and by instinct we kind of breed accordingly. But, as much as I believe that, I work really hard when I'm in a relationship to make it work in a monogamous way.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON
London Telegraph, December 10, 2006
People meet; that is well. They part; that is well, too. Life is life.
OCTAVE MIRBEAU
The Diary of a Chambermaid
Unlike 'real relationships', 'virtual relationships' are easy to enter and to exit. They look smart and clean, feel easy to use, when compared with the heavy, slow-moving, messy real stuff.
ZYGMUNT BAUMAN
The Contemporary Bauman
A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.
