RELATIONSHIPS
The best way to keep relationships healthy and happy is to be realistic and realize that just because we found that special someone, it doesn’t mean that everything that follows will be easy.

You cannot expect ‘the one’ to knock on your front door. It seldom happens that way.

People who are having a love-sex relationship are continuously lying to each other because the very nature of the relationship demands that they do. Because you have to make a love object of this person, which means that you editorialize about them. You cut out what you don’t want to see, you add this if it isn’t there. And so therefore you’re building a lie.
– Truman Capote
In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.
– Albert Einstein
Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.
– Anthony J. D’Angelo
The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing. It cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.
– Hugh Walpole, Sr.
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don’t over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
– Leo F. Buscaglia
Nothing is more exciting and bonding in relationships than creating together.
– Stephen Covey
Sometimes if you’re lucky, someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart that no one else can fill, someone who’s tighter than a twin, more with you than your own shadow, who gets deeper under your skin than your own blood and bones.

When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences, then love has a chance to blossom.
– John Grey
A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself – to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.
– Leo F. Buscaglia
A man’s sense of self is defined through his ability to achieve results. A woman’s sense of self is defined through her feelings and the quality of her relationships.
– John Grey
Whether life is worth living depends on whether there is love in life.
– R. D. Laing
Where love rules, there is no will to power, where power predominates, their love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
– Carl Jung
I self destruct every relationship so that I don’t get hurt...but in truth I just hurt myself worse in the long run.

The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, personal and family history, belief systems, and often political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.
– Eckhart Tolle
The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands.
– Alexandria Penney
Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
– Henry Winkler
You can’t stop loving or wanting to love because when it’s right, it’s the best thing in the world. When you’re in a relationship and it’s good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete.
– Keith Sweat
Our greatest joy – and our greatest pain comes in our relationship with others.
– Stephen R. Covey
Well, it seems to me that the best relationships – the ones that last – are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is...suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.
– Gillian Anderson
Oh, the comfort – the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person – having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.
– Dinah Craik
Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed.
– Albert Einstein
Don’t rush into any kind of relationship. Work on yourself. Feel yourself, experience yourself and love yourself. Do this first and you will soon attract that special loving other.
– Russ Von Hoelscher
Men put more thought into buying a car than they do in entering a relationship.
– Author Unknown
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
You will know the real meaning of love when you fall in love.
– Terance
It is only when we no longer compulsively need someone that we can have a real relationship with them.
– Anthony Storr
Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it.
