Iain Reid
“I think what I want is for someone to know me. Really know me. Know me better than anyone else and maybe even me. Isn't that why we commit to another? It's not for sex. if it were for sex, we wouldn't marry one person. We'd just keep finding new partners. We commit for many reasons, I know, but the more I think about it, the more I think long-term relationships are for getting to know someone. I want someone to know me, really know me, almost like that person could get into my head. What would that feel like? To have access, to know what it's like in someone else's head. To rely on someone else, have him rely on you. That's not a biological connection like the one between parents and children. This kind of relationship would be chosen. It would be something cooler, harder to achieve than one built on biology and shared genetics.”
Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things

“There were times when I cursed the trail and the weather for hours. But after you sulk and consider your options, you eventually realize that you can sit there and cry, or you can walk... It doesn't matter so much if you cry or walk -- I did a lot of both -- but if you turn on your partner, you'll never make it together.”

Craig D. Lounsbrough

1. Count the price of the prize.

“încrederea înseamnă stabilitate. Există o anumită siguranță în ceea ce-l privește pe celălalt, precum și relația dintre voi. Înseamnă că mâine comportamentul său va fi ca cel de ieri și că poți conta pe planurile pe care vi le-ați făcut împreună. Înseamnă să știi că, dacă luni ați făcut aranamente ca să mergeți undeva sâmbătă, când vine ziua de sâmbătă, voi veți fi în măsură să vă puneți planul în aplicare. Stabilitatea, foarte inconsistentă în experiențele copilăriei tale, poate fi dificil de învățat și acceptat când vine din partea unei alte persoane.”
Janet Geringer Woititz, The Intimacy Struggle: Revised and Expanded for All Adults

“Nearly completed in each instance, the wind blew the robin’s nest out of the aspen tree four times in a row. And I greatly admired the fact that in the face of such frustrating misfortune the robin’s rebuilt their nest those four times, when we as humans probably wouldn’t have done it but once or twice. Or maybe less.”

“It’s not the gifts or the abilities or the talents that equip us to accomplish great things. Rather, it’s the persistent and adamantly stubborn conviction that we will in no way leave the world the way that we found it. And I would rather join hands with a single person of this kind than sit with a million gifted people who are not of this kind.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough
