It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is. •Hermann Hesse Intimate relationships cannot substitute for a life plan. But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships. •Harriet Lerner Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. •Anthony J D'Angelo Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. •Richard M DeVos Without relationships, no matter how much wealth, fame, power, prestige and seeming success by the standards and opinions of the world one has, happiness will constantly eluded him. •Sidney Malwed Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate. •Albert Schweitzer The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one. •Joan Baez For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. •Warren Beatty The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells -- and he smelled real nice. •Sandra Bullock My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons. •Lord Byron In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. •Angela Carter I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy. •Helen Hunt If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time. •Octavio Paz The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. •Alexandria Penney It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting. •Todd Ruthman When you're in a relationship, you're always surrounded by a ring of circumstances... joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring. •Bob Seger If you're in a relationship and you want to make it work, you have to be a little selfless at times. •Montel Williams Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
