The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.
Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
People change and forget to tell each other.
A thought for today: 'People change and forget to tell each other.'
Problems in relationship occur because each person is concentrating on what is missing in the other person.
Private victories precede public victories.
It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.
Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.
The bonds that unite another person to our self exist only in our mind.
My girlfriend told me that she was seeing another man. I told her to rub her eyes.
In the coldest February, as in every other month in every other year, the best thing to hold on to in this world is each other.
A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other... maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on - series polygamy - until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimension to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.
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.
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
