“I’m
loving you because it’s natural to me. I’m loving you because I’m a lover, not
even because you’re lovable. Because if I’m loving you because you’re lovable,
those are strings. Then you’ve got to keep being my version of lovable to get
me to feel this way about you. And that is manipulation under all standards.”
“Infatuation
is when you think that he’s as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry
Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as
Jimmy Conners. Love is when you
realize that he’s as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Conners, as funny as Ralph
Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger, and nothing like Robert Redford–but
you’ll take him anyway.”
"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 themfeel 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.”
