WHAT IS A RELATIONSHIP ???

Relationships

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

The problem with relationships are that people are so busy falling in love that they forget to fall in like.Unknown

We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.Henri Frederic Amiel

One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one.Francois De La Rochefoucauld

My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons.Lord Byron

 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.Woody Allen

All things need watching, working at, caring for and marriage is no exception. Marriage is not something to be treated indifferently, or abused or something that simply takes care of itself. Nothing neglected will remain as it was or is, or will fail to deteriorate. All things need attention care and concern and especially so in this most sensitive of all relationships of life.Richard L. Evans

You must go to bed with friends or whores, where money makes up the difference in beauty or desire.W. H. Auden

If going into the past was as easy as taking a step backward, we would never move forward.Nicole Valenica

The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands.Alexandria Penney

Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future --and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.Albert Camus

Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one's privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.Barbara Ehrenreich

 The thing that's between us is fascination, and the fascination resides in our being alike. Whether you're a man or a woman, the fascination resides in finding out that we're alike.Marguerite Duras

I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality. Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.D. H. Lawrence

 

We can never establish with certainty what part of our relations with others is the result of our emotions -- love, antipathy, charity, or malice -- and what part is predetermined by the constant power play among individuals.
