Glimpses of Insight into Relationship

Relationship quotes by author-names starting with A

A.A. Milne:

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh!" he whispered. "Yes, Piglet?" "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

Anthony Robbins:

Why do people persist in a dissatisfying relationship, unwilling either to work toward solutions or end it and move on? It's because they know changing will lead to the unknown, and most people believe that the unknown will be much more painful than what they're already experiencing.

Anthony Robbins:

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 Storr:

It is only when we no longer compulsively need someone that we can have a real relationship with them.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:

Man is a knot into which relationships are tied.

Author Unknown:

We control fifty percent of a relationship. We influence one hundred percent of it.

Author Unknown:

Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

Relationship quotes by author-names starting with B

Barbara De Angelis:

The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together.

Bill Hybels:

For a marriage relationship to flourish, there must be intimacy. It takes an enormous amount of courage to say to your spouse, "This is me. I'm not proud of it -- in fact, I'm a little embarrassed by it -- but this is who I am."

Relationship quotes by author-names starting with D

Dave Barry:

Never assume that the guy understands that you and he have a relationship.

Deborah Tannen:

The biggest mistake is believing there is one right way to listen, to talk, to have a conversation -- or a relationship.

Dr. Joyce Brothers:

Relationship quotes by author-names starting with E

Ella Wheeler Wilcox:

There's one sad truth in life I've foundWhile journeying east and west -The only folks we really woundAre those we love the best.We flatter those we scarcely know,We please the fleeting guest,And deal full many a thoughtless blowTo those who love us best.

Emil Ludwig:

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.

Relationship quotes by author-names starting with F

Francois de la Rochefoucauld:

If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves, it is pointless to search elsewhere.

Relationship quotes by author-names starting with L

Laura Schlessinger:

Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship.

Leo Buscaglia:

Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.

Leo Buscaglia:

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.

Linda Ellerbee:

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.

Relationship quotes by author-names starting with R

Rainer Maria Rilke:

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.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.

Richard Bach:

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

Rob Cella:

A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows.

Robert Benchley:

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

Russ Von Hoelscher:

Before we can have a successful relationship with anyone, we first need a perfect personal relationship.

Russ Von Hoelscher:

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.

Keep checking, if you please!
