| Friedrich Nietzsche | There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.  | 101 |
| John Lennon | We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. | 101 |
| Wayne Dyer | How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. | 101 |
| Barbara De Angelis | We don't develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. | 101 |
| Carol Gilligan | In the different voice of women lies the truth of an ethic of care, the tie between relationship and responsibility, and the origins of aggression in the failure of connection. | 101 |
| Daisy Fuentes | You are not alone with a guy until you are a proper age. You don't go to certain levels with men until you are married or you have a certain relationship. | 101 |
| David Rockefeller | I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important. | 101 |
| Elizabeth Gilbert | Unfenced by law, the unmarried lover can quit a bad relationship at any time. But you - the legally married person who wants to escape doomed love - may soon discover that a significant portion of your marriage contract belongs to the State, and that it sometimes takes a very long while for the State to grant you your leave. | 101 |
| Gia Coppola | My family and I are so close, it's important to have a close knit relationship and to make time to spend with each other, especially at the holidays. | 101 |
| Humphrey Bogart | I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me. | 101 |
| Jeff Bridges | Technology is such a broad kind of term, it really applies to so many things, from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it, as I expect most people do. With the computer, I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer. | 101 |
| Julia Roberts | I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together. | 101 |
| Keith Miller | No gentleman ever discusses any relationship with a lady. | 101 |
| Kirsten Dunst | You can never control who you fall in love with, even when you're in the most sad, confused time of your life. You don't fall in love with people because they're fun. It just happens. | 101 |
| Lee Strobel | My worldview, my philosophy, my attitudes, my relationships, my parenting, my marriage - everything has been transformed by my relationship with Christ. | 101 |
| Manny Pacquiao | The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God. | 101 |
| Marine Le Pen | I am well placed to know that Le Pen is not an anti-Semite. If one considers his life seriously... a man who went to fight with the Israelis in '56! Many times, he tried to better the party's relationship with the Jewish community, even though I do not like the term. | 101 |
| Nick Cannon | Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you're in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad. | 101 |
| Oliver Hudson | Blood relatives often have nothing to do with family, and similarly, family is about who you choose to make your life with. | 101 |
| Olivia Wilde | The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao. But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily - that's the tragedy. | 101 |
| Patrick Stewart | I certainly wanted to maintain some sense of mystery about Picard and that's why we never allowed certain situations to fully evolve, like the relationship between Picard and Beverly Crusher. | 101 |
| Tom Hanks | Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour. | 101 |
| Valentino Rossi | The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true. | 101 |
| Victoria Pratt | You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot. | 101 |
| Warren Farrell | I'm an awfully loyal friend. Once I've started a relationship with someone, it's like they are syrup and I'm a pancake. Their syrup gets into my pancake, so to speak. | 101 |
| Wesley Clark | For the United States to be a global leader, we have to have a very tight relationship with Europe. And we've held that relationship since 1949 when we established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO. NATO is the bond. It's a security bond. | 101 |
| Andy Dick | People love to hate. I have a love-hate relationship with the world. The world loves to hate me. | 101 |
| Bill de Blasio | I've always had a very positive relationship with the municipal labor unions - a respectful relationship. | 101 |
| Friedrich List | Only now did I recognize the reciprocal relationship which exits between manufacturing power and the national system of transportation, and that the one can never develop to its fullest without the other. | 101 |
| Gordon Neufeld | Digital intimacy ruins the appetite for the real thing. So, when kids are gaming or even when spouses are gaming, they lose their appetite for genuine intimacy. Kids lose their appetite for getting their intimacy needs, their hunger for significance and attachment, with the family, and it erodes the relationship between them and their parents. | 101 |
| Hugh Mackay | Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational. | 101 |
| Kristin Cavallari | I would never put my close friends or a real relationship on a show. | 101 |
| Morris Gleitzman | Children know when they are being sold a sanitised version of the world, and I think that's a betrayal of the relationship between author and reader. | 101 |
| Ninon de L'Enclos | A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover. | 101 |
| Patti Scialfa | With any long-term relationship, you have good days and bad days. | 101 |
| Penny Pritzker | I tend to be a person who starts with the presumption that I should trust you until you abuse the privilege, and then our relationship is forever changed. That's a very big line, and chances are it's not going to work if it's crossed. I warn people that this is how I'm going to deal with it. | 101 |
| Randeep Hooda | Knowledge is power. You can't begin a career, for that matter even a relationship, unless you know everything there is to know about it. | 101 |
| Remy de Gourmont | Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last. | 101 |
| Robert Pattinson | I'm not one of these guys who's constantly in a relationship, not at all. | 101 |
| Rory Stewart | If a relationship is going wrong, if a marriage is going wrong, the answer cannot simply be to say, 'You can't afford to break up because you are going to lose the house.' The answer has to be only one thing, which is 'I love you.' | 101 |
| Sara Paretsky | I'm lucky in having found the perfect partner to spend my life with. | 101 |
| Tony Kushner | I feel there's a power in theatre, but it's an indirect power. It's like the relationship of the sleeper to the unconscious. You discover things you can't afford to countenance in waking life. You can forget them, remember them a day later or not have any idea what they are about. | 101 |
| Ann Oakley | If love means that one person absorbs the other, then no real relationship exists any more. Love evaporates; there is nothing left to love. The integrity of self is gone. | 101 |
| Brian Acton | People want chat histories. They're a permanent testimony of a relationship. | 101 |
| Casey Affleck | I have a very bad relationship with mice. | 101 |

| El DeBarge | God gave me a second chance. I am so very glad with what is going on with my career, but I want to be a success in my relationship with my children. | 101 |
| Elaine Sciolino | Francois Hollande, the president of France, and Segolene Royal, a senior cabinet minister who once ran for that post herself, have an exceptionally complicated relationship. The two lived together for 25 years, raising four children over that time. | 101 |
| Ella Henderson | I have never been in a serious relationship and never had a break-up, so I can't tug on my heartstrings that way. But whenever I experience a strong emotion in life, I definitely have to throw myself into my songwriting. It is very therapeutic. | 101 |
| Eva Zeisel | I don't like to design single objects. I like my pieces to have a relationship to each other. They can be mother and child, like the Schmoo salt and pepper shakers, or brother and sister like the Birdie salt and peppers, or cousins, like most of my dinnerware sets. | 101 |
| Garcelle Beauvais | Adultery is the ultimate deal-breaker for me. I would rather be alone than in a relationship that doesn't honor me. | 101 |
| Godfrey Reggio | Having been an educator for so many years I know that all a good teacher can do is set a context, raise questions or enter into a kind of a dialogic relationship with their students. | 101 |
| Greta Scacchi | A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment. | 101 |
| Keith Sweat | You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and its good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete. | 101 |
| Leonard Slatkin | I've come to the conclusion that a long, personal relationship is next to impossible for me. Ultimately, music is a possessive mistress. | 101 |
| Marian Keyes | Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy. Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers, or by using the words 'for ever.' But love can only truly be measured by actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don't like doing it. | 101 |
| Marianne Faithfull | Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs. | 101 |
| Michael Ian Black | The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. That's not hard to do even when you're juggling insane careers and three kids. | 101 |
| Mona Simpson | I eventually made the reunion with my father that I'd used as a default daydream throughout my childhood, but by then, we'd both outgrown the only relationship we could have had to each other. I was over 30 by the time I met him again and no longer needed a father. | 101 |
| Paul Berg | Novel technologies and ideas that impinge on human biology and their perceived impact on human values have renewed strains in the relationship between science and society. | 101 |
| Poppy Z. Brite | This is the point being missed by readers who lament Liquor's lack of hot sex scenes, probably because they aren't old enough to understand that a passionate relationship could be about anything other than sex. | 101 |
| Randy Bachman | Burton Cummings joining the Guess Who in January 1966 changed my life forever. It's been a rocky affiliation, no doubt. One journalist once described our relationship as the longest running soap opera in Canadian history. That may be a bit oversimplified. | 101 |
| Rosanne Cash | If a relationship is founded on love it doesn't end. | 101 |
| Ruth Ozeki | The relationship between reader and writer is reciprocal in a way. We co-create each other. We are constantly emerging out of the relationship we have with others. | 101 |
| Ryan Kwanten | In order to be able to give a girlfriend the amount of time she deserves, you would need time, and I just can't give her that. So, rather than being selfish or stupid enough to go into a relationship, it's just been easier to be single. | 101 |
| Sandra Bernhard | I can't tell you 100 percent what makes a relationship work. But I can see something good coming and I can see something bad coming. | 101 |
| Sara Zarr | We write in ways that, we generally hope, reflect real life, or at least look familiar to humans. And in life, recurring themes are a recurring theme. We never quite conquer a pet vice or a relationship pattern or a communication habit. We're haunted by our particular demons. | 101 |
| Shane McAnally | I'm a creative person who had a lot of dark time in my life. I can still get to it: I can still go to a relationship or a time when things weren't great. But it's getting further and further from me. | 101 |
| T Bone Burnett | If it is true that we have a personal relationship with God, then that's enough for me. | 101 |
| Teresa Medeiros | It's true that romance novels do detail the courtship phase of a relationship. We usually write 'And they lived happily ever after' before our heroine starts snoring or our hero starts tossing his socks over the hamper. | 101 |
| T. B. Joshua | When your maturity is derived from circumstantial factors other than faith, your level of maturity would continue to fluctuate rather than being stable. This is why I am enabled to maintain a balance and stable approach to the challenges that come my way every day. I am not moved by what people say or do concerning my relationship with God. | 101 |
| Trisha Goddard | Daddy loves you, but he smacks you, and he can shout at you and smash things, but Daddy still loves you. So when you get into a relationship with someone who does all of that, why would it be unusual? | 101 |
| Alexandra Chando | I have a couple of best friends, and I don't think I would live with them. It definitely... certain people can't live together, and I think that it could potentially put a lot of strain on the relationship or friendship. | 101 |
| Armie Hammer | I think a primal role of a man in a relationship is to protect his woman. | 101 |
| Beau Mirchoff | A healthy relationship is built on unwavering trust. | 101 |
| David Elliott | We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life. | 101 |
| Hans Adolf Krebs | The existence of common features in different forms of life indicates some relationship between the different organisms, and according to the concept of evolution, these relations stem from the circumstance that the higher organisms, in the course of millions of years, have gradually evolved from simpler ones. | 101 |
| James Levine | It was just that we had this phenomenal honeymoon relationship that just kept on going. | 101 |
| Joyce Banda | Most African women are taught to endure abusive marriages. They say endurance means a good wife but most women endure abusive relationship because they are not empowered economically; they depend on their husbands. | 101 |
| Kay Robertson | I tell my kids and my grandkids, 'Never forget where you came from. Never forget your roots.' My grandkids, they didn't go through the hard times as much as other ones in our family did. One thing is to just never forget where you came from and you never forget that nothing is more important than your relationship with Jesus Christ. | 101 |
| Liz Cheney | I don't believe we ought to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. If people are in a same-sex relationship, and they want their partner to be able to have health benefits or be designated as a beneficiary in your life insurance, there's no reason we shouldn't do that. | 101 |
| Malcolm Boyd | I find Jesus my confidant and companion, brother and savior; our relationship is intimate, vulnerable, demanding yet comfortable and reassuring. | 101 |
| Patricia Arquette | I liked the premise of this material. I love the marriage relationship. They kind of keep each other honest, and they enjoy each other's sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship. | 101 |
| Sunil Mittal | For me, relationship is very important. I can lose money, but I cannot lose a relationship. The test is, at the end of a conversation or a negotiation, both must smile. | 101 |
| Adam Brody | Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it's always a tough thing and hard to get over. | 101 |
| Adrian Lyne | Obviously, in dealing with a relationship, sexuality has to be involved, and jealousy and emotions like that. And I don't know, I've always been intrigued by those emotions. | 101 |
| Eknath Easwaran | It takes a lot of experience of life to see why some relationships last and others do not. But we do not have to wait for a crisis to get an idea of the future of a particular relationship. Our behavior in little every incidents tells us a great deal. | 101 |
| Marie Lu | I've always had this interest in sibling relationships because I don't have any siblings. I'm completely a product of the one-child policy in China, so I always kind of wished that I had an older brother or a younger brother or sister just to have that bond, so I find myself constantly writing about that relationship. | 101 |
| Rick Derringer | It's a great relationship when you can work with the person who you consider to be your soul mate. | 101 |
| Taylor Handley | As far as an actor-director connection, I think those can develop, and when they do, they're really great, and you just cultivate it like you would any relationship or friendship. If you find that something special, it helps down the line when you want to do more projects with each other. | 101 |
| Alyson Stoner | My relationship with God is what gives me a moral compass on what decisions to make and that stuff. I'm thankful that I have the people around me that I do, and they remind me each day of who I am and what I stand for. | 101 |
| Jose Carreras | I have a wonderful shelter, which is my family. I have a wonderful relationship with my brother and sister; this makes me feel that I know always where I belong. | 101 |
| Minka Kelly | In any solid, good relationship, it takes a while to trust someone. | 101 |
| Richard Owen | The relationship between a Russian and a bottle of vodka is almost mystical. | 101 |
| Sam Underwood | The special relationship between twins is that, if there's anyone else in the world that's going to get or be the confidant that you need, it's an identical twin. | 101 |
| T. Berry Brazelton | A grandchild is a miracle, but a renewed relationship with your own children is even a greater one. | 101 |
| Terri Apter | When a mother quarrels with a daughter, she has a double dose of unhappiness hers from the conflict, and empathy with her daughter's from the conflict with her. Throughout her life a mother retains this special need to maintain a good relationship with her daughter. | 101 |
| Tony Hoare | An ultimate joint challenge for the biological and the computational sciences is the understanding of the mechanisms of the human brain, and its relationship with the human mind. | 101 |
| Ann Powers | To some extent, the idea that rock 'n roll used to have this sort of free antediluvian identity, frolicking in the 1950s with Elvis or something, is totally wrong. It's insane. Elvis' relationship with Colonel Parker, his manager, was one of the most possibly corrupt, certainly lucrative, and intense business partnerships ever in rock n' roll. | 101 |
| Atticus Ross | My brother, who's ten years younger than me, worked with me in the studio when he was very young. He's a guitar player and does programming as well. To have the working and personal relationship coincide has been very natural. | 101 |
| Brina Palencia | I had a very close relationship with my grandmother. She actually helped raise me. | 101 |
| David Allee | My work reflects a relationship to the built world that shifts between control and randomness, strangeness and beauty, comfort and fear. | 101 |
| John Fusco | In 2007, I did a horseback trip across part of central Mongolia with my 13-year-old son - we encountered Marco Polo at all these historical places where Mongolian nomads would reference his accounts and his relationship with Kublai Khan. | 101 |
| Julianna Baggott | Writing is my obsession, my passion. My relationship with it is one of the most complex and agonizing and richly vexing that I have in my life. | 101 |
| Saif Ali Khan | I think a lot of a man's outlook in life - at least mine - is shaped by his relationship with his father. | 101 |
| Sam Palladio | If you break up with a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you're in this vulnerable state where you're still kind of half in the relationship with them, but you're single, and it takes a while to feel solid in yourself again. | 101 |
| Jennifer Carpenter | One of the things I've started doing lately is tracking my dreams. I feel like there's a lot of information there and you can really bring those emotions to the situations that may feel mundane or familiar. That gives them new life and gives you a new relationship with it - if that makes any sort of sense. | 101 |
| Matteo Manassero | I was OK in school, but I always missed a lot because I was playing so much. But if I'd stuck at it, I imagine that I'd be doing something financial or economical. Finance always attracted me, even though maths was always a bit of a love-hate relationship. I would have tried playing football, but I don't think I'd have made it. | 101 |
| Megan Park | You need to be feel beautiful on your own before a guy can make you feel beautiful, because it wont be a healthy relationship. | 101 |
| Jennifer Ehle | There's never been a game plan, and I suppose I've had an uneasy relationship with my ambition. Someone who had been in my year at drama school once said to me that I was terrifyingly ambitious back then. Which was not at all what I felt at the time - I felt paralysed with shyness, though that evaporated. | 101 |
| Michael Raymond-James | I think in any father-son relationship, there's going to be times you say, 'Well, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.' | 101 |
| Mark Mobius | China and the U.S. have a very symbiotic relationship which will not decline any time soon. There are more shared interests as compared to shared differences and for this reason relations will continue to be good. | 101 |
| Joshua Harris | I'm not saying dating is sinful, and I'm not saying a guy and a girl should never spend time alone together. I'm saying let's wait until we can be purposeful, so there's a reason behind our relationship, and we're not just stirring up passion for the sake of a good time. | 101 |
| Jonathan Silverman | I would like to think that monogamy works: that once you make that vow, that decision in your life to stay committed, you actually get to keep that promise; you get to keep that commitment. I think that once you start to lose that, once you start to wonder, even emotionally - especially emotionally - your relationship is bound to get lost. | 101 |
| June Singer | Androgyny is not trying to manage the relationship between the opposites; it is simply flowing between them. | 101 |
| Katharine Hepburn | Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. | 102 |
| Martin Luther | There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. | 102 |
| Homer | Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe. | 102 |
| Alain de Botton | I learnt to stop fantasising about the perfect job or the perfect relationship because that can actually be an excuse for not living. | 102 |
| Amy Grant | Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long. | 102 |
| B. R. Ambedkar | The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends. | 102 |
| Casey Kasem | For the most part, that message hasn't changed a lot over the years - love is still love, and heartbreak is still heartbreak. | 102 |
| Charlotte Perkins Gilman | The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society - more briefly, to find your real job, and do it. | 102 |
| David Perlmutter | The science supporting the relationship between carbohydrates and dementia is quite exciting, as it paves the way for lifestyle changes that can profoundly affect a person's chances of remaining intact, at least from a brain perspective. | 102 |
| Henry Cloud | The physicality of a real relationship - one that encompasses mind, body and soul - ultimately makes it more fulfilling and powerful than any virtual relationship ever could be. | 102 |
| Irwin Redlener | The risks are far greater to your child of not getting immunized than any kind of speculative potential relationship between the vaccine and the development of autism. | 102 |
| Jennifer Aniston | I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase. | 102 |
| Lewis B. Smedes | It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited. | 102 |
| Megan Fox | I could see myself in a relationship with a girl; Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She's mesmerizing. | 102 |
| Mikhail Baryshnikov | I fell in love with New York. It was like every human being, like any relationship. When I was a young New Yorker, it was one city. When I was a grown man, it was another city. I worked with many dance organizations and many wonderful people. | 102 |
| Nancy Gibbs | It's hard to think of any tool, any instrument, any object in history with which so many developed so close a relationship so quickly as we have with our phones. | 102 |
| Natalie Wood | The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby. | 102 |
| Owen Paterson | The relationship between renewable energy sources and the communities we expect to host them must be appropriate and sustainable and, above all, acceptable to local people. | 102 |
| Tadao Ando | When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious, close contact with nature - this very unique to Japan. | 102 |
| Val Kilmer | There was such a relationship between the buffalo and the American Indian - the Indians would eat them, live inside their pelts, use every part of the body. There was almost no separation between the people and the animals. | 102 |
| Vanessa Lachey | Trust is the most important part of a relationship, closely followed by communication. I think that if you have those two things, everything else falls into place - your affection, your emotional connection. | 102 |
| Walter Winchell | Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you. | 102 |
| Zack Snyder | It's interesting now that basically a CG set is the same cost as a real set. So like if you're going to build a CG house in the suburbs, it costs you $200,000. And if you were going to build it in a computer, it'll cost you $200,000. It's the same... the relationship is exactly the same. | 102 |
| Beth Moore | I have to have a daily, vibrant relationship with Jesus in order to survive that process toward healing. | 102 |
| Dada Vaswani | Marriage is a commitment for life. It is a permanent, lifelong relationship. | 102 |
| Daniel Yergin | The Russians are turning east to the Chinese - to the Europeans' surprise. It always seemed to me that the relationship between Russia and China would shift from being based in Marx and Lenin to being based in oil and gas. | 102 |
| Eric Stonestreet | Bringing up a child in a loving relationship is the most important thing. | 102 |
| Gennifer Flowers | I met Bill Clinton in 1977 while I was working as a news reporter for KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after we met, we began a sexual relationship that lasted for twelve years. | 102 |
| Greg Louganis | Mom was the one who taught me unconditional love. With Dad, I'd always felt there was something to live up to - expectations. But in the last year, we had a wonderful relationship. | 102 |
| James McAvoy | Distance is a bad excuse for not having a good relationship with somebody. It's the determination to keep it going or let it fall by the wayside; that's the real reason that the relationships continue. | 102 |
| John Frusciante | The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know. | 102 |
| Joyce Brothers | Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable. | 102 |
| Karlheinz Stockhausen | And harmony means that the relationship between all the elements used in a composition is balanced, is good. | 102 |
| Keri Hilson | We all have something about ourselves that we'd change if we could in a perfect world, be it our body image, our financial status, our relationship, whatever. I wanted to talk about how nobody's exempted from the realities of life and all those things. | 102 |
| Kim Alexis | I did not have a personal relationship with Jesus until I met my nanny, who helped me through a failing marriage and raising my two boys in a New York City apartment. She showed me by example what it was like to be able to talk to Jesus and bring all my cares and worries to Him. That was in 1990. | 102 |
| Kristin Davis | It's nice to be with someone, but I don't think you need to be in a relationship to feel complete. That would be really sad. | 102 |
| Lillian Hellman | People change and forget to tell each other. | 102 |
| Michael Haneke | My father and I had a good relationship, it was very relaxed. He had a lot of humour. He looked a little bit like me, although he had no beard. He had the appearance of a very elegant British-looking man. | 102 |
| Nadine Velazquez | Things aren't always clear at the beginning of a relationship. Be up-front. Don't play on her confusion or vulnerability. Women want and appreciate clarity. | 102 |
| Norman McLaren | I have tried to preserve in my relationship to the film the same closeness and intimacy that exists between a painter and his canvas. | 102 |
| Per Petterson | 'In the Wake' was a very bleak book. This relationship was not too good, the father and son. This time around, I wanted a father and a son who really loved each other, which would be visible on the first page and would still be there on the last page. | 102 |
| Richard Hayne | Each brand leader is focused on ensuring that the brand relationship with its customer is strong and differentiated. To accomplish this differentiation, we plan to offer her even more unique product and talk with her in new and exciting ways. | 102 |
| Richard LaGravenese | I tend to believe, when you're in a relationship, if you don't fight, it's not a real relationship. You have to have arguments and tensions, otherwise I don't believe it. | 102 |
| Sara Sheridan | I have an ambivalent relationship with Margaret Thatcher. She came to power in May 1979 - a month before my 11th birthday. I was far too young to have developed a great deal of political awareness. I remember it, though - my mother excited at the dinner table because Britain had its first female prime minister. | 102 |
| Shawn Ashmore | Our first scene is sort of a reunion between the X-Men characters, which establishes everyone's relationship to one another, sort of like a recap for all those who have forgotten since the last movie. | 102 |
| Tori Spelling | I love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will, but I'd rather have a complicated, misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all. | 102 |
| Whitney Cummings | I feel like, in a lot of shows where the woman is in charge, the woman is this ball buster and the guy is sort of weak and spineless. And that's never been my experience in a relationship. I think it's much more interesting that the guy is the boss. And there are stakes. | 102 |
| Alexa Vega | I think it really makes a difference when you know the people that you're working with, when you develop a relationship. | 102 |
| Cameron Mathison | I work a lot of hours, and in this business you really try to keep as busy as you possibly can. Sometimes when you really focus on kids in your free time you lose the husband and wife relationship to some degree. It's been a real focus for us to make sure we stay focused on us two. | 102 |
| Hank Haney | I know I was a great friend to Tiger Woods. But when you have a relationship that's involves business and friendship - and the business part comes to an end - things always get a little blurry. | 102 |
| Jacques Lacan | What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe? | 102 |
| Janeane Garofalo | I don't have a good work ethic. I have a real casual relationship with hours. | 102 |
| Logan Lerman | Growing up, I had a very normal relationship with my brother and sister. But, over time, they became my best friends, and now I hang out with them all the time. I'm very close with them. | 102 |
| Lauren London | People should accept being single, because those are the moments you can really focus on yourself, and learning who you are. Then when you get in a relationship, you will be stronger and have a little bit more self-awareness, self-love, and the other ingredients for a healthy relationship. | 102 |
| Ron Silver | I don't even like to use the word relationship. I don't know what it means. | 102 |
| Suzanne Brockmann | The lust and attraction are often a given in a romance novel - I want to dig into the elements of true friendship that form a foundation for a solid, gonna-last-forever romantic relationship. | 102 |
| Tammy Faye Bakker | You can educate yourself right out of a relationship with God. | 102 |
| Toni Collette | The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world. | 102 |
| William E. Simon | I continue to believe that the American people have a love-hate relationship with inflation. They hate inflation but love everything that causes it. | 102 |
| William Levy | Whether I'm single or in a relationship, I'm the same person. The same human being. | 102 |
| Anthony Storr | It is only when we no longer compulsively need someone that we can have a real relationship with them. | 102 |
| Boris Kodjoe | As part of my relationship with my wife and my daughter, and we share everything and talk about everything. | 102 |
| Bruce Bueno de Mesquita | Dictators, unlike Democrats, depend on a small coterie to sustain their power. These backers, generally drawn from the military, the senior civil service, and family or clan members, have a synergistic relationship with their dictator. The dictator delivers opportunities for them to become rich, and they protect him from being overthrown. | 102 |
| Corin Nemec | I have my ethics and morals. I have my anchor point of what is right and wrong in real life, but I'm not afraid to entertain any and every aspect of personality in relationship to creating a character. | 102 |
| Deborah Tannen | The biggest mistake is believing there is one right way to listen, to talk, to have a conversation - or a relationship. | 102 |
| Diane Warren | I have a good imagination. Look, I know what it feels like to have a broken heart. I know what it feels like to feel something for somebody. I'm just too weird to be in a relationship. | 102 |
| Lew Wasserman | You tend to meet on a more regular basis with people in your industry, and reality being what it is, you tend to meet with them at the particular level that you occupy; so that develops a fraternity relationship. | 102 |
| Sebastian Faulks | My ideal relationship with the reader is that at certain points they will have said, 'I'm finding this quite tough, but I'm going to hang in there,' then at the end they will say, 'Oh God, I'm glad I hung on, it was so worth it.' | 102 |
| Sugata Mitra | My wish for humanity is to invent a way to communicate between us and whatever comes next. And in the end that we the creator of the sentient sapient and the created we have a symbiotic relationship. | 102 |
| Alice Sebold | The relationship with the words someone uses is more intimate and integrated than just a quick read and a blurb can ever be. This intimacy - the words on the page being sent back and forth from engaged editor to open author - is unique in my experience. | 102 |
| Anjelica Huston | I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck. | 102 |
| Bruce Beutler | The nicest part of the prize, perhaps, is the effect on my friends and family. Each of them feels proud and happy to have the relationship with me that they do. In a way, it's as though they received an award too, and I like that very much. | 102 |
| Caleb Carr | You want to believe that there's one relationship in life that's beyond betrayal. A relationship that's beyond that kind of hurt. And there isn't. | 102 |
| Caroline Paul | I think as humans we do want to control our relationships, and you can't. It's probably better that you can't. That wouldn't be a real relationship, and we'd never learn and grow. | 102 |
| Cuba Gooding, Jr. | My wife and I have been together since 1986. I graduated in '86 and she graduated in '88. We began dating when she was 17. Actually she turned 18 when we started kissing and stuff. | 102 |
| DeForest Soaries | When I was growing up, we used to play basketball in a park that was never shoveled when it snowed. The basketball rims were never fixed. And we understood then that there was a relationship between public policy and our quality of life. | 102 |
| Jamie Cullum | I worship pianos like they are prize diamonds, and I never willfully do damage to them. But I grew up playing guitars, and you treat a guitar like a best friend or a little brother or a lover you have a tempestuous relationship with. | 102 |
| Max Greenfield | I think the most important foundation about any relationship is just being honest. You've got to. My wife and I are honest to a fault with each other, and we're best friends on top of it, so we're very fortunate. | 102 |
| Michael Ealy | I wasn't smart enough to read relationship books when I was coming up. I learned everything the hard way. | 102 |
| Randa Haines | If you and I had a relationship, and I like to dance and you don't, will that affect our relationship? If I push you and push you, maybe you'll learn to dance, but more likely, that will move you away from me. | 102 |
| Raymond Burr | I once had a long relationship with a lady, and wherever I went in the world, if I saw something she would look great in, a gown or gloves or a ring, I always knew what color she liked most. I knew her size, what material she appreciated most, and I spent the whole time buying gifts for her. And I loved her very much. | 102 |
| Ronnie Musgrove | After my father died when I was seven and my mother entered into an abusive relationship, I shuffled between houses - staying with friends, families from church, and relying on the kindness of teachers and people throughout my community to help me grow up essentially without parents. | 102 |
| Austin Butler | As soon as you start feeling like you can't trust the person and you need to check his phone or have his Facebook password or look through his messages - as soon as that trust barrier is broken - it's hard to keep a relationship going after that. | 102 |
| Donald Berwick | I think health care is more about love than about most other things. If there isn't at the core of this two human beings who have agreed to be in a relationship where one is trying to help relieve the suffering of another, which is love, you can't get to the right answer here. | 102 |
| Dylan Walsh | I think it's part of your mental health to let go of things. I think if you would have it all right there, it would be a little overwhelming. I don't know how you'd have a relationship. When you have a relationship, don't two people collude to kind of forget certain things? | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| James Spader | People who supported Obama felt like they formed a relationship, that they were being spoken to. The way that campaign worked and the way he's worked during his first term is to make people feel like he's grasping their hand, whether it's by tweeting or email, moments after an event, sometimes during an event. It makes people relate to him. | 102 |
| Jim Hunt | We saw what happened in Jimmy Carter's administration. President Carter was a good man with the best of intentions. But he came to Washington without a good working relationship with Democratic members of Congress, which played a big part in his administration's problems. | 102 |
| Martha Wainwright | My childhood definitely revolved around my relationship with my brother. I wanted to be different. I wanted to find my way of being as intriguing and interesting as he was. | 102 |
| Richard Foster | Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship in which we learn how to grow, live, and love in the spiritual life. | 102 |
| AJ Michalka | So many people grew up in the church, and you can have an awesome upbringing, but I made a personal conviction; I made a personal decision when I was very young. I enjoy going to church without my parents. On Sunday mornings, I want to go. Bible studies on Wednesdays... I have a relationship - not just through my parents. | 102 |
| Allison Mack | There's a relationship in the reality with how theater is presented - you can't experience that anywhere else. When you mess up, you mess up obviously, when you sweat, you sweat obviously, when you cry, you cry obviously. There's no hiding in theater. | 102 |
| Jean Hanff Korelitz | The Thames could be thought of as England's longest archaeological site, and no fewer than 90,000 objects recovered from its foreshore are in the collection of the Museum of London, whose 30-year relationship with London mudlarks is both committed and highly regulated. | 102 |
| Martha McSally | I think there is a longing in everyone for a personal relationship with God. | 102 |
| Matt Czuchry | I'm enjoying dating. I'm single, though, I'm not in a relationship. | 102 |
| A. Philip Randolph | Justice is never given; it is exacted and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship. | 102 |
| Morley | I include myself in the posters because I feel like it forms a more intimate relationship between the artist and the person passing by. And it's important to include some vulnerability and use fears and rejections and various aspects from my own life so people look at my work as more than greeting card fodder. | 102 |
| Jodi Lyn O'Keefe | I did make some not-so-great relationship decisions when I was a lot younger. I do know that not all high school boys are great and wonderful and Prince Charming, and there are a few that are going to treat you that way. | 102 |
| Jo Ann Emerson | America won the Cold War by protecting our strategic resources from the threat of foreign control. We must bring the same attitude to our trade relationship with China. | 102 |
| Jack Anderson | The incestuous relationship between government and big business thrives in the dark. | 102 |
| Buddha | Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship. | 103 |
| Beyonce Knowles | For me, it's about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It's where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that's very important to me. | 103 |
| Bob Marley | Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. | 103 |
| Taylor Swift | In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up. | 103 |
| Margaret Mead | Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship. | 103 |
| Richard Bach | If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. | 103 |
| Barbara De Angelis | You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back. | 103 |
| Carl Rogers | In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth? | 103 |
| Elaine Pagels | I got to thinking about the Book of Revelation that was written by a Jewish prophet who was also a follower of Jesus who hated the Roman Empire. I realized that the Book of Revelation could be a way to reflect on the issue of religion's relationship to politics. | 103 |
| Helen Fisher | Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby. | 103 |
| Neil LaBute | In a relationship you have to open yourself up. | 103 |
| Ryan Reynolds | I think every relationship is going to go through a few rough patches. Those are what make it stronger, I think. | 103 |
| Washington Irving | Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. | 103 |
| Abdolkarim Soroush | After the 9/11 incidents, Islam has become a big question mark among westerners, especially Americans. The mass media constantly raise the issue of relationship between Islam and terrorism. | 103 |
| Angela Ahrendts | Everyone talks about building a relationship with your customer. I think you build one with your employees first. | 103 |
| Courteney Cox | I think every relationship has a point where you stop and reevaluate. Are you happy? Have you grown together or apart? What do you share interests in? I think that's a normal thing to do, but it's so much harder when it's done publicly. | 103 |
| Cynthia Nixon | While I don't often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have 'chosen' is to be in a gay relationship. | 103 |
| Daniel H. Wilson | We humans have a love-hate relationship with our technology. We love each new advance and we hate how fast our world is changing... The robots really embody that love-hate relationship we have with technology. | 103 |
| Don Johnson | I've never been very successful in a monogamous relationship, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can assume that responsibility. | 103 |
| Hank Azaria | Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship, and that's only expedited by 'Out of sight, out of mind.' But when you walk outside and see them on a billboard or on TV or on the cover of a magazine, it reopens the wound. It's a high-class problem, but it's real. | 103 |
| Henry Winkler | Assumptions are the termites of relationships. | 103 |
| Jeffrey Gitomer | Great salespeople are relationship builders who provide value and help their customers win. | 103 |
| John Clayton | Christians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him. | 103 |
| Kenneth H. Cooper | We are involved in youth testing internationally. We want to try to prove without a shadow of a doubt the relationship between physical fitness and health, not just physical fitness and ability to perform. | 103 |
| Keri Russell | People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship. | 103 |
| Larry Wall | For me, writing is a love-hate relationship. | 103 |
| Lily Cole | I have to admit I've always had quite a complex relationship with modeling and with the idea of advertising: not always knowing what I'm advertising and selling. | 103 |
| Patricia Hewitt | You don't repair that relationship by sitting down and talking about trust or making promises. Actually, what rebuilds it is living it and doing things differently - and I think that is what is going to make the difference. | 103 |
| Paul Henderson | Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from a relationship with the Lord. | 103 |
| Paul Watzlawick | It is difficult to imagine how any behavior in the presence of another person can avoid being a communication of one's own view of the nature of one's relationship with that person and how it can fail to influence that person. | 103 |
| Pixie Lott | I don't believe in open relationships. If you want to be with someone else, you shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place. | 103 |
| Randeep Hooda | None of us can claim to be fair and square in love - and I'm definitely not a hypocrite! Humans are built to evolve with time. It depends on the nature of the relationship you share with a person. It is there today, tomorrow it may be gone; c'est la vie. | 103 |
| Sergei Lavrov | NATO has a special relationship with countries far away from Europe: Australia, Japan, South Korea. They have joint projects and programmes which are being implemented without these countries becoming members of NATO. | 103 |
| Shirley MacLaine | I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves. | 103 |
| Alana Stewart | One hopes, of course, that a relationship grows and becomes a deep and wonderful marriage and friendship that lasts forever. But that's not always the case. | 103 |
| Andrew Cohen | It is true that women tend to be more identified with their bodies because in this crazy world, both men and women measure women's value as human beings in relationship to their physical appearance. | 103 |
| Garcelle Beauvais | Divorce isn't one-sided, and I am by no means perfect. Becoming accountable for my role in the relationship was very empowering. | 103 |
| Gil Kane | But I was also a big mouth, I started to develop a troubled relationship with Harry Shorten. | 103 |
| Jon Krakauer | I love being outdoors, being in the mountains and the desert, and my wife enjoys that too. That's one of the things that sustain our relationship. | 103 |
| Kina Grannis | In finding love, I think it's important to be patient. In being in a relationship, I think it's important to be honest, to communicate, to respect and trust, and to strive to give more than you take. | 103 |
| Laurene Powell Jobs | My relationship with money is that it's a tool to be self-sufficient, but it's not something that is a part of who I am. | 103 |
| Michel Faber | 'The Crimson Petal and the White' is a book, and it will win or lose the trust of each reader when they begin reading its pages. That relationship will go on. | 103 |
| Nydia Velazquez | Too often, the landlord-tenant relationship is unbalanced with all the power on the side of unscrupulous landlords. | 103 |
| Pat Barker | That balance between involvement and detachment is what novelists do. It's the ideal relationship between a novelist and a character, I think, total involvement and identity and empathy, stopping short of being autobiographical - in my case, anyway - but also quite detached. | 103 |
| Rick Moranis | When I was a little kid, it was not uncommon for a cousin or an uncle, before they would even say 'Hello,' to gush, 'You know, your mother's brisket is just incredible; it's so good.' That was an inspiration for creating a love song in that well-worn terrain of the relationship between a Jewish boy and his mother. | 103 |
| Ronan Farrow | He's my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression... I cannot see him. I cannot have a relationship with my father and be morally consistent. I lived with all these adopted children, so they are my family. To say Soon-Yi was not my sister is an insult to all adopted children. | 103 |
| Sadie Frost | There are people out there who want me to fail, who want Jude to fail, who want our relationship to fail. | 103 |
| Scott Stapp | I'm still going to make mistakes, but I don't have any problems with publicly professing my faith now. It just took me a long time to get to the right place in my relationship with Christ. | 103 |
| Toni Collette | People are so fearful about opening themselves up. All you want to do is to be able to connect with other people. When you connect with other people, you connect with something in yourself. It makes you feel happy. And yet it's so scary - it makes people feel vulnerable and unsafe. | 103 |
| Whitley Strieber | The truth is, everything ultimately comes down to the relationship between the reader and the writer and the characters. Does or does not a character address moral being in a universal and important way? If it does, then it's literature. | 103 |
| Clark Gregg | There's something about the superheroes and the idea behind their relationship with humans, whether it's a metaphor for the better part of ourselves, or the more flawed part of ourselves. So it seems to really be our own pop-culture version of Greek mythology. | 103 |
| Harold Warner | One of the hardest jobs in ministry is keeping your own relationship with God where it needs to be. | 103 |
| Lara Giddings | I'm human. I'm a person. I would love to be in a relationship with a man. I would love to find the right man; I think that's natural - that's what we all want. | 103 |
| Mildred S. Dresselhaus | The concept of graphene came along in 1947, but nobody paid much attention to it. I was fascinated because it had a linear E versus K while everything else that people were working on at that time had a quadratic dispersion relationship. I wondered why this was and what was so special about it. That was my fascination. | 103 |
| Billy Baldwin | The relationship between a client must be 'we.' | 103 |
| Clinton Sparks | Common would come to my house and give me a freestyle verse. I'd make a new beat for it and put it with something else. That's how I met Eminem - he came to my house back when he first started. He gave me a bunch of freestyles, and that's how we built a relationship. Everyone came to my house. | 103 |
| Dido Armstrong | I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved. | 103 |
| John R. Allen | There are tens of thousands of interactions every single day across Afghanistan between the Afghan troops and International Security Assistance Force. On most of those, every single day we continue to deepen and broaden the relationship we seek. | 103 |
| Marian Seldes | If you're unhappy in a relationship, I think you just don't trust yourself for getting into another one. | 103 |
| Jessi Klein | My 20s were all about feeling desperate. Desperate to find a new boyfriend. Desperate to get the perfect job. Desperate to get rid of this terrible relationship with this bad new boyfriend. | 103 |
| Susannah York | A relationship is lovely if you're happy, comfortable in it and you really like the person. I can think of nothing better. But there's nothing worse than having a relationship in which you feel no interest. | 103 |
| Avan Jogia | I have a lot of disrespect for people who cheat. I feel like if you're in a position in a relationship where you want to see other people, and the opportunity to cheat comes up, don't. | 103 |
| Mark Steyn | Government health care changes the relationship between the citizen and the state, and, in fact, I think it's an assault on citizenship. | 103 |
| Mary McAleese | Whatever changes the new era brings, whatever new pathways we take, I am sure that our special relationship with America - forged in adversity, will not change. | 103 |
| Jim Hodges | It's as if I were collaborating with myself, revealing my relationship to the material. My hand would make the drawing. Then my mouth would transmit it. | 103 |
| Jacob Whitesides | Every song is personal, but 'Ohio,' on my first EP, was on another level. I really opened up about the lack of relationship I had with my father. We stopped talking about four years ago, and I haven't had a father figure in my life since. | 103 |
| Jim Dine | I've never had an easy relationship with critics. I hold a lot of homicide in my heart. If this was another time, I'd be packing a piece. | 103 |
| Khalil Gibran | But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. | 104 |
| Anais Nin | I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. | 104 |
| Francois de La Rochefoucauld | Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires. | 104 |
| Simone de Beauvoir | To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job. | 104 |
| Thomas Merton | 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. | 104 |
| Victor Hugo | When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes. | 104 |
| Kevin Hart | My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about - having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character. | 104 |
| Anthony J. D'Angelo | Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. | 104 |
| 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. | 104 |
| Brendan Behan | The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody to love you. | 104 |
| Chris Pine | Fear runs our lives. It doesn't matter who you are. You have to understand your relationship with fear. Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up. | 104 |
| Ellen Goodman | There's a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its value. | 104 |
| F. W. de Klerk | The relationship between me and President Mandela right at the beginning was not a very well-established relationship. It was based on two meetings. | 104 |
| Fred Hampton | A lot of people don't understand the Black Panthers Party's relationship with white mother country radicals. | 104 |
| Georg Simmel | Every relationship between persons causes a picture of each to take form in the mind of the other, and this picture evidently is in reciprocal relationship with that personal relationship. | 104 |
| Gina Bellman | Any friendship or relationship is about a language. | 104 |
| Graham Norton | I always say I'd rather be miserable by myself than unhappy in a relationship. | 104 |
| Kate Christensen | I realized that I've had a really rocky relationship with food - it has not been a gauzy, beautiful summer of ripe melons and perfectly buttered toast. | 104 |
| Kevin Rudd | The Apology opened the opportunity for a new relationship based on mutual respect and mutual responsibility between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia. Because without mutual respect and mutual responsibility, the truth is we can achieve very little. | 104 |
| Kevin Spacey | Over the years, I've been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I've tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship with audiences would be protected. | 104 |
| Kyle Chandler | We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes, but the idea is that at the end of the day, my wife and I realize that we'll always be holding each other's hand. This is a lifelong relationship, and after 12 years she hasn't gotten rid of me yet. | 104 |
| Leona Lewis | Obviously, a long-distance relationship is hard. But, like anything worth having, you make it work. | 104 |
| Michael Caine | I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age. | 104 |
| Mindy Kaling | When men hear women want a commitment, they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship, but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome. | 104 |
| Neil Patrick Harris | What defines a relationship is the work that's involved to maintain it, and it's constantly changing. | 104 |
| Nick Cannon | I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word 'diva' and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn't afraid to show it. | 104 |
| Penelope Cruz | I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend', and now I am happy being single. | 104 |
| Pietro Aretino | I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies. | 104 |
| Ralph Ellison | Some people are your relatives but others are your ancestors, and you choose the ones you want to have as ancestors. You create yourself out of those values. | 104 |
| Rollo May | Care is a state in which something does matter; it is the source of human tenderness. | 104 |
| Smokey Robinson | So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it - only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God. | 104 |
| Tommy Franks | The military infrastructure grew me. My faith in God is important, my belief in my country is important, my relationship to my family is important, the things that Mom and Dad tell you growing up are important. | 104 |
| Victoria Justice | You know when you have a good relationship with someone when you are just perfectly happy to be quiet and just hang out and do nothing. | 104 |
| William Glasser | Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship. | 104 |
| William Shatner | The longer I go about living, I see it's the relationship that is most meaningful. | 104 |
| Brittany Snow | I'm so single. It's funny. I'm usually a relationship girl. I love being in love and having a partner in crime. But it's good to be your own partner in crime. God, that makes me sound like I have multiple-personality disorder. | 104 |
| Cherie Blair | Britain is still seen as a beacon for decency, for democracy, for vigorous judges upholding the rule of law and, dare I say it, a free press. I respect the press in theory, but when you see some of the things it writes about you, it's not exactly a happy relationship. | 104 |
| Dennis Quaid | It's hard for two actors to be together. Take the traveling, for instance. It winds up being a long distance relationship, all the time, because one's working here and one's working there, or one's staying at home and one's off someplace else. | 104 |
| Francis Schaeffer | Doctrinal rightness and rightness of ecclesiastical position are important, but only as a starting point to go on into a living relationship - and not as ends in themselves. | 104 |
| George J. Mitchell | So I developed very early a massive inferiority complex, and I've told the story often about how that inspired me later in life to get involved in other things, because I couldn't out-do my brothers in sports, and it's a very competitive relationship. | 104 |
| J. C. Watts | I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it. | 104 |
| Jason Mraz | Two halves don't make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man. | 104 |
| Joe Torre | My relationship with George Steinbrenner was great. He was the boss, and I accepted that. | 104 |
| Leighton Meester | I think you have to know how you feel when you're sad and it's healthy to mourn if a relationship ends. | 104 |
| Michael Tilson Thomas | They are representations of many shared hours of collaboration between us all. That's the real nature of the relationship the orchestra and I are trying to build. | 104 |
| Phoebe Snow | There's a fascinating school of thought that some women are relationship addicts. You get really strung out on a guy who's not returning your enthusiasm and tell yourself you're going to fix him and make him better, and of course it's impossible. | 104 |
| Randeep Hooda | There is an interaction and action, reaction between two people. One should show honesty in a relationship. Be honest to your partner and tell him everything. How long can you do things with dishonesty and that's wrong. Don't get into a relationship if you can't be honest. | 104 |
| Robert Anthony | The one who loves the least, controls the relationship. | 104 |
| Will Cuppy | Caesar might have married Cleopatra, but he had a wife at home. There's always something. | 104 |
| Carice van Houten | I have a love-hate relationship with Twitter. There are moments I feel like 99 percent of the people who write stuff are the sweetest people, and then one crazy guy or girl spoils the whole thing. | 104 |
| Madalyn Murray O'Hair | The relationships that people have - that are sexual, psychological, emotional - these relationships are not open to supervision by parents, schools, churches, or government. Nobody has any right to intervene at all in any kind of relationship like that. | 104 |
| Morris West | Once you accept the existence of God - however you define him, however you explain your relationship to him - then you are caught forever with his presence in the center of all things. | 104 |
| Robin Quivers | Men have been intimidated by my relationship with Howard. You know, it's hard for them to imagine that they could be number one, seeing this relationship. | 104 |
| Shahid Kapoor | When you are seeing somebody, then obviously it's a commitment. And if you don't want to commit, then don't be in a relationship. Every relationship deserves a certain credibility and respectability. For me, it's always been like that. | 104 |
| Shekhar Kapur | I am not possessive at all. In every relationship I have had, the girl has left me. And the fundamental complaint has been that I am self-contained. I am just comfortable with myself and am always on an adventure. | 104 |
| Andy Grammer | Whether it's a 16-year old girl, or a mom, or a guy, or anybody, as long as they come up and they're excited to meet me 'cause they've had some sort of relationship with something I've created, it's the coolest thing ever. It never gets old. It's awesome. | 104 |
| Binyavanga Wainaina | Living in South Africa and periodically coming back to Kenya, my relationship with officialdom in Kenya was just insane. | 104 |
| Dale Evans | Who cares about the clouds when we're together? Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather. | 104 |
| David Thewlis | I'd had a relationship with a French girl, a Japanese girl, an American girl, a Filippina and she was there all the time - a Lancashire girl. I thought: 'It's a Lancashire girl I was looking for. Why didn't I realize it?' | 104 |
| Errol Flynn | Women won't let me stay single and I won't let me stay married. | 104 |
| George W. S. Trow | Mehmet Ertegun died in 1944. President Roosevelt sent his body back to Turkey on the U.S.S. Missouri. Mehmet Ertegun and President Roosevelt had had a cordial relationship, and, indeed, Mehmet Ertegun may have helped insure that Turkey did not ally itself with Germany, as it had in the First World War. | 104 |
| Hesham Qandil | I think we need to maintain the good relationship between the people of Egypt and the people of the United States. | 104 |
| Robert Powell | There's not a human being alive I won't talk to. There's a quite simple rule. If you like somebody more than you dislike them you can have a relationship. Once you accept you like 75 per cent but 25 per cent you find irritating for this or that reason, you just have to ignore that 25 per cent. | 104 |
| Sean Durkin | What I learned from directing, I learned from soccer, where it's like a coach-player relationship. | 104 |
| Catherine Opie | One of the greatest things about being an artist is, as you get older, if you keep working hard in relationship to what you want the world to be and how you want it to become, there is a history of interesting growth that resonates with different moments in your life. | 104 |
| Crystal Chappell | Danny and I worked really hard in the beginning of the relationship to find different levels of this couple. | 104 |
| Dilma Rousseff | I consider the relationship with the U.S. very important to Brazil. I will try to forge closer ties with the U.S. | 104 |
| Jimmy Chamberlin | My brother and I had a real love-hate relationship with my success. There was some bitterness there that I didn't understand until recently, but I told him that if I ever did a record I wanted him to play on it. | 104 |
| Jacob Latimore | 'Heartbreak Heard Around the World' is about me and my girl, and I'm just going through a broken-heart stage in a relationship, and I'm just kind of expressing my love for her. | 104 |
| Richard Schickel | That common cold of the male psyche, fear of commitment. | 104 |
| Addison Mizner | God gives us relatives; thank God, we can choose our friends. | 104 |
| Jeff Tweedy | I've been obsessed with seeing life through music. My records, my relationship with records, my relationship with rock stars, everything that surrounds it, has been really one of the only ways that I ever started to understand the world. | 104 |
| Jack Lemmon | Death ends a life, not a relationship. | 104 |
| Michael Jordan | The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game. | 105 |
| Taylor Swift | Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it's a green light. | 105 |
| Ang Lee | Sexuality is a big issue, but there are others - how much you commit to a relationship, to social obligation, to honesty and being honest with yourself. | 105 |
| Brendon Urie | I recorded 'The End of All Things' right before I married my now wife. We had no vows publicly, so I wrote her this song and told her, 'This is how I see our relationship.' | 105 |
| Georg Simmel | Every relationship between two individuals or two groups will be characterized by the ratio of secrecy that is involved in it. | 105 |
| Hanya Yanagihara | I think for a lot of people, friendship is a relationship that gets devalued once they move on to what people consider to be more important relationships: once you find a partner or when you have kids. | 105 |
| Herman Hesse | It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is. | 105 |
| Ian Dunbar | When I'm training a dog, I develop a relationship with that dog. He's my buddy, and I want to make training fun. | 105 |
| Imogen Poots | I don't think anything's ever simple. Everyone's just trying to understand each other, and whether that's because you're in a relationship or because you're meeting their friends or because their meeting your brother or whatever it is, nothing like that is ever smooth running. | 105 |
| Jack Nicholson | Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love. | 105 |
| Jean-Claude Van Damme | I don't have a bad relationship. I'm 48 years old. I think life is too short for that. To me, life is... you open the shutters, you see the dogs outside, you look left, you look right, in, what, a second and a half? And that's a life. | 105 |
| Karen DeCrow | Father's Day each year makes me grateful for what my father did for me. This has little to do with our relationship, and much to do with what he taught me. | 105 |
| Keanu Reeves | Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things. | 105 |
| Lauryn Hill | Be honest, brutally honest. That is what's going to maintain relationships. | 105 |
| Leona Lewis | It takes bravery to end a relationship. | 105 |
| Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | It took me a long time to understand the relationship between ideas and between objective facts. But after I clearly understood this relationship, I didn't fool around with other wild ideas. That is one of the main reasons why I just make my scheme as simple as possible. | 105 |
| Mike Murdock | Each relationship nurtures a strength or weakness within you. | 105 |
| Nina Dobrev | People aren't defined by their relationship. The whole point is being true to yourself and not losing yourself in relationships, whether romances or friendships. | 105 |
| Queen Rania of Jordan | I have nothing against the veil. And I think that, wrongly, many in the West look at the veil as a symbol of oppression. Now, as long as a woman chooses to wear the veil, because that's her belief and because of her own - that's a personal relationship with God, so she should be free to dress in whichever way she wants. | 105 |
| Tila Tequila | You don't want to be in a relationship with someone who's scared of you. | 105 |
| Warren Spector | Kids, adults, men, women, everybody has a relationship with Mickey Mouse. | 105 |
| Zsa Zsa Gabor | I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire? | 105 |
| Ashley Madekwe | I think the best way to keep a relationship hot is to simply try to make time for each other. That's it. | 105 |
| Ashwin Sanghi | The relationship between critic and writer is similar to the one between the pigeon and the statue. | 105 |
| Carl Honore | We know that no algorithm can solve global poverty; no pill can cure a chronic illness; no box of chocolates can mend a broken relationship; no educational DVD can transform a child into a baby Einstein; no drone strike can end a terrorist conflict. Sadly, there is no such thing as 'One Tip to a Flat Stomach.' | 105 |
| Carmen Electra | Being flirty is a way of letting a guy know you're interested without making a fool out of yourself. | 105 |
| China Mieville | I always felt sorry for the sidekick as a kid. They never got their due and it left a very bad taste in the mouth - they are defined by a subordinate relationship to someone else. I always felt like a bit of sidekick when I was a kid and it didn't feel fair. | 105 |
| Craig Kilborn | People here in Los Angeles are disgusted now about a sex scandal involving Arnold Schwarzenegger. Apparently for seven years, he carried on a sexual relationship with his own wife. | 105 |
| Eric Topol | For diabetes in particular, we know there's a relationship between lack of glucose regulation and complications like blindness and kidney failure. So if you were diabetic and you knew that you could get your glucose in a tight, normal range just by adjusting your lifestyle, wouldn't that be great? | 105 |
| Erik Qualman | As social media is less about technology and more about relationship building, we are starting to see more women have a heavy influence if not dominant role in the social media space. It's no wonder that Facebook is being run in part by chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg. | 105 |
| Harold Ford, Jr. | The U.S. economy and workers benefit from a strong, healthy relationship between government and business. | 105 |
| Hu Jintao | Building a good, stable, and productive China-U.S. relationship is in our mutual interest of our two countries and our two peoples, and also contributes to peace and development. | 105 |
| James Taylor | I have a love-hate relationship with the Grammys because I don't see the music world as a competitive sport. | 105 |
| Jane McGonigal | Surveys of thousands of gamers have shown that they're more likely to play real music if they play a music videogame. So it's an interesting relationship where the games aren't replacing something we do in real life, they're serving as a springboard to a goal we might have in real life, like learning to play an instrument. | 105 |
| Laura Wasser | I think if you're going to be in a relationship with someone, you need to be able to share the responsibility, the knowledge, the worry. It's not like it was when our parents or their parents were having lives where the mom just baked bread, and the husband worried about it, and the wife didn't know there was any problem. | 105 |
| Leslie Mann | They say that when a woman wants to end a relationship, she cuts off all of her hair. I've done that twice in my marriage but am still married. | 105 |
| Natalie Goldberg | Whether you're keeping a journal or writing as a meditation, it's the same thing. What's important is you're having a relationship with your mind. | 105 |
| Patti Stanger | If you're giving love and not receiving it, you're not in the right relationship. If you're receiving it and not giving it than you are taking advantage of the other person. | 105 |
| Piper Perabo | You can only really open yourself up so far to someone that you don't truly love - you keep something back when you know somewhere in your gut that this relationship is going to be forever. | 105 |
| Rashida Jones | I think anybody who has had a long relationship and has had a really hard time letting go, wants to feel like it's not all for naught, and it's meaningful, because it makes you who you are. | 105 |
| Robert Crais | The relationship between a military working dog and a military dog handler is about as close as a man and a dog can become. You see this loyalty, the devotion, unlike any other and the protectiveness. | 105 |
| Ron Chernow | I have developed a very strong partiality for the dead: they don't talk back, they don't sue, and they don't have angry relatives. | 105 |
| Steven Curtis Chapman | I did nothing to deserve God's love; in fact, I was living as an orphan, without hope. Yet God chose to pursue a relationship with me, and through the death of his son Jesus, I was adopted into God's family. | 105 |
| Tracy McMillan | Is our desire for partnership just an evolutionary remainder, a Togetherness Delusion, where millions of women only think they need a relationship to be truly happy? Maybe. But you know what? That's fine with me. | 105 |
| Abraham Verghese | I think we learn from medicine everywhere that it is, at its heart, a human endeavor, requiring good science but also a limitless curiosity and interest in your fellow human being, and that the physician-patient relationship is key; all else follows from it. | 105 |
| David Chalmers | Actually, I think my view is compatible with much of the work going on now in neuroscience and psychology, where people are studying the relationship of consciousness to neural and cognitive processes without really trying to reduce it to those processes. | 105 |
| Diane Keaton | I had a career and I came to motherhood late and am not married and have never had such a trusting relationship with a man - and trust is where the real power of love comes from. | 105 |
| Genevieve Gorder | I think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that you're making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. It's not just an aesthetic decoration. | 105 |
| Jacqueline Bisset | A lot of actors work too much. There comes a point where it's hard to mask your basic personality. It's a bit like a relationship. If you're always there, they can't desire you. | 105 |
| Sandy Koufax | There is among us a far closer relationship than the purely social one of a fraternal organization because we are bound together not only by a single interest but by a common goal. To win. Nothing else matters, and nothing else will do. | 105 |
| Shahid Kapoor | I think if we want to find happiness by finding a life partner, then it's a little selfish. You should be complete within yourself, so that when you're in a relationship, you can give out happiness rather than expect it. | 105 |
| Suresh Raina | As and when I get into a relationship, I'll flaunt her to the world. I'm looking for a soul mate, and in any case, I'm not very much for casual dating. I'm such a simple guy away from this dating-shating business. | 105 |
| Elizabeth Gillies | Once you lose the honesty in a relationship, I mean, I think you don't have a relationship at all. | 105 |
| Jennifer Grant | The grief of losing my father has come in waves over the years, as it does with most people. His love and devotion as a father provided my closest, most intimate relationship. Dad, and our time together, is in my bones. While reflecting on him, the memories themselves seem to boil down into certain 'essences of Dad.' | 105 |
| Josh Turner | You hear about quality time a lot but I really think that quantity time with a person is really what strengthens a relationship. That's when you really get to know somebody. You get to know their strengths and their weaknesses and that brings you closer. That's what 'Time Is Love' is all about. | 105 |
| Richard G. Scott | The key to successful missionary work is a close relationship between the missionaries and the members. Creating an environment in working with members that will bring more into the Church. | 105 |
| Amin Maalouf | It's the relationship I have with the world: always trying to escape from reality. I'm a daydreamer; I don't feel in harmony with my epoch or the societies I live in. | 105 |
| Steve Garvey | I did commit adultery, if adultery is having a relationship in a marriage with another woman. I learned from that. | 105 |
| John Schneider | In 'Hardflip,' you have a relationship where the father and son haven't seen each other in 18 years, but they find they're very alike: pigheaded, stubborn, passionate. It's a wonderful story of how you can't get away from how similar you and your children are. | 105 |
| Susan Faludi | A lot of people seem to want to make the institution of marriage substitute for a real relationship. | 105 |
| Jasmine Guy | I am very sad for men and women trapped in any relationship where there is cruelty, dominance, inequity. I long for the liberation of all people. | 105 |
| John Moody | The close relationship between railroad expansion and the genera development and prosperity of the country is nowhere brought more distinctly into relief than in connection with the construction of the Pacific railroads. | 105 |
| Justin Welby | A lot of people reject the idea of God as Father if they've had a competitive relationship with their own father. | 105 |
| Maya Angelou | When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. | 106 |
| James A. Baldwin | But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power. | 106 |
| Alex Ferguson | The time I have already spent at Harvard has been a stimulating experience, and I look forward to developing my relationship and activities with the students, faculty and friends of the Harvard Business School community. | 106 |
| Ben Affleck | I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship. | 106 |
| Bill Walton | I lived to play basketball. Growing up as a kid, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics were my favorite team. The way they played, the teamwork, the sacrifice, the commitment, the joy, the camaraderie, the relationship with the fans. | 106 |
| Diane von Furstenberg | The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I'd say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life. | 106 |
| Francesca Annis | However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them. | 106 |
| Frederica Mathewes-Green | God is not looking for repayment, but repentance. What heals a broken relationship is sincere love and contrition. | 106 |
| Iain Duncan Smith | When families are strong and stable, so are children - showing higher levels of wellbeing and more positive outcomes. But when things go wrong - either through family breakdown or a damaged parental relationship - the impact on a child's later life can be devastating. | 106 |
| Katherine Jenkins | If you love somebody, you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner, my dad the house husband. I'm a strong believer that a good relationship can work, whatever the situation. | 106 |
| Kit Harington | On a serious level, I wouldn't tell the press if I was in a relationship or not. I wouldn't ever reveal that, because it takes you down a certain road... I have no desire to be courting the press with my love life. | 106 |
| Kyle MacLachlan | David Lynch plucked me from obscurity. He cast me as the lead in 'Dune' and 'Blue Velvet,' and people have seen me as this boy-next-door-cooking-up-something-weird-in-the-basement ever since. I was 23 when I first met him, in his bungalow on the Universal lot, and could never have predicted we would have such an enduring relationship. | 106 |
| Mark Cuban | It is so much easier to be nice, to be respectful, to put yourself in your customers' shoes and try to understand how you might help them before they ask for help, than it is to try to mend a broken customer relationship. | 106 |
| Miroslav Volf | Rules help govern and steer a relationship along, so they're good things. But they become bad things when they become the narrow gate though which the relationship must always pass. When this happens, the rules become the basis for the relationship and, in a sense, become a substitute for the relationship. | 106 |
| Nick Rahall | For hundreds of millions of Americans who believe in God, prayer is our bridge between Earth and Heaven, our way of opening our hearts to the Lord. Through this intimate relationship we find peace and guidance. | 106 |
| Orlando Bloom | I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part. | 106 |
| Patrick Wilson | If you look back on the breakups that you've had, whether it's a long relationship or a one-night stand, it's always awkward. | 106 |
| Sugar Ray Leonard | I made the decision to turn pro, and I remember what Ali said to me: 'Get Angelo Dundee. He's the right complexion with the right connection.' He knew boxing. Our relationship was so genuine, so sincere. | 106 |
| Theo James | I was in New Zealand and met this girl. Her sister dared me to bungee jump, so I did! It was a spur-of-the-moment decision - I wanted to impress the girl, and it worked! We were in a relationship after that. | 106 |
| Tommy Lee | When I'm single, I'm one guy, and when I'm in a relationship I'm totally another. They're both a good time. | 106 |
| Wangari Maathai | In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace. | 106 |
| Yulia Tymoshenko | I know the Russian political elite has got used to the Ukraine suffering from an inferiority complex, but I want this to disappear from our relationship. | 106 |
| Zbigniew Brzezinski | We cannot have that relationship if we only dictate or threaten and condemn those who disagree. | 106 |
| Anne Graham Lotz | When I put my faith in Jesus Christ as my savior, and I asked him to forgive and to come into my life, and He does - from that moment forward I have established a personal relationship with God that I have to develop, you know, through Bible reading and prayer, and living my life for him. | 106 |
| David Carradine | Quentin and I were constantly finding something new that we had in common and comic books were one of them. I think we were talking about comic books much earlier in our relationship, before I had the part. | 106 |
| Demi Moore | I have had a love-hate relationship with my body. | 106 |
| Dorothy Hamill | I always had the sense that nothing was never good enough - striving for perfection. My mother and I had a sort of typical mother-daughter relationship. | 106 |
| Edward T. Hall | We should never denigrate any other culture but rather help people to understand the relationship between their own culture and the dominant culture. When you understand another culture or language, it does not mean that you have to lose your own culture. | 106 |
| Grace Kelly | I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does. | 106 |
| Jane Wiedlin | I was a very romantic, overly dramatic young lady, which served me well as a songwriter. Especially as someone who had to focus on lyrics and melody, because if you're a dramatic and romantic person, lyrics come easy, and you turn every single short-term relationship into the biggest 'Romeo-and-Juliet' story ever. | 106 |
| Keshia Knight Pulliam | I don't know if there is a 'lack' of good black men. But when you haven't taken the time to get to know yourself, be OK with you, and articulate what it is you want in a relationship, then you can't possibly find that person for you because you don't even know what you're looking for. | 106 |
| Laura Wasser | I'm not a divorce monger by any means, but if you're not happy in a relationship, and you've grown apart, it's not healthy for a couple to stay together. It's better for kids to see two happy parents than two miserable parents. | 106 |
| May Sarton | No partner in a love relationship... should feel that he has to give up an essential part of himself to make it viable. | 106 |
| Philipp Meyer | I don't think you can be taught how to make art. You can be coached, but on a fundamental level you have to figure it out for yourself. You have to learn how your own mind works, figure out your own relationship to the art; you essentially have to invent it completely for yourself. | 106 |
| Agnes Repplier | We cannot really love anyone with with whom we never laugh. | 106 |
| Alison Goldfrapp | I think that there are many aspects to the relationship between humans and animals. But briefly, humans appear to have always been fascinated by them from the time of cave paintings and before. | 106 |
| Anton Yelchin | In a relationship when things are really great you don't need to say anything and just enjoy the other person. Sometimes with a couple, it gets dark and you don't know what to say and that silence can last all day. Other times you don't want to stop talking because you don't want to lose one another. | 106 |
| Richard Preston | Redwoods flourish in fog, but they don't like salt air. They tend to appear in valleys that are just out of sight of the sea. In their relationship with the sea, redwoods are like cats that long to be stroked but are shy to the touch. | 106 |
| Richard Russo | If my career continues along its current arc, people will probably look at me and see a writer who is obsessed with the relationship between rich and poor and with how the rich somehow or other always manage to betray the poor, even when they don't mean to. | 106 |
| S. Jay Olshansky | Fixing obesity is going to require a change in our modern relationship with food. I'm hopeful that we begin to see a turnaround in this childhood obesity epidemic. | 106 |
| Susie Orbach | No one leaves a long-term relationship scot-free or without conflict. | 106 |
| Anita Sarkeesian | My own contentious relationship with gaming continued through high school and college: I still enjoyed playing games from time to time, but I always found myself pushed away by the sexism that permeated gaming culture. There were constant reminders that I didn't really belong. | 106 |
| Aron Ralston | I'd fallen in love with a woman but she broke up with me and I was devastated. Six months later, I went into a suicidal depression from the break-up of the relationship, but I resolved to not do what my friends had done. And so I reached out for help. | 106 |
| Louis Kronenberger | The closer and more confidential our relationship with someone, the less we are entitled to ask about what we are not voluntarily told. | 106 |
| Jenna Fischer | Well, I don't know if this is true of everyone, but I have this relationship with my parents where, despite however mature or articulate or grown-up I think I've become, as soon as I go home, I turn into this petulant 13-year-old, especially with the tone of my voice. | 106 |
| Mike Leigh | My work is about life as you and I experience it. You're either lucky or you're not lucky; either your relationship works or it doesn't. | 106 |
| Joshua Waitzkin | My coach and my parents both had this relationship to what I was doing, which was allowing me to express myself with chess. And so I could love it. I had a passion for it. I was expressing myself through chess, and I was learning about myself through chess. | 106 |
| Bjork | Living in a capital in Europe but still surrounded by mountains and ocean, my relationship to music was strongest walking to school and back. I would sing to myself and very quickly started mapping out my melodies to landscapes - at the time I just thought it was very matter of fact, a common thing to do. | 107 |
| Lord Byron | Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship. | 107 |
| Angela Davis | Yes, I think it's really important to acknowledge that Dr. King, precisely at the moment of his assassination, was re-conceptualizing the civil rights movement and moving toward a sort of coalitional relationship with the trade union movement. | 107 |
| Christopher McCandless | All true meaning resides in the personal relationship to a phenomenon, what it means to you. | 107 |
| Alain de Botton | The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can't accept that. | 107 |
| Anne Morrow Lindbergh | The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now. | 107 |
| Candace Bushnell | My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly, it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like. | 107 |
| Derek Bok | Economists who have studied the relationship between education and economic growth confirm what common sense suggests: The number of college degrees is not nearly as important as how well students develop cognitive skills, such as critical thinking and problem-solving ability. | 107 |
| Dick Gregory | Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten. | 107 |
| Erich Fromm | The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent. | 107 |
| Ian Dunbar | You can instill fear in your kids and get them to mind, but they won't function better in the world and your relationship will suffer greatly. | 107 |
| Kailash Satyarthi | There is a triangular relationship between poverty, child labour and illiteracy who have a cause and consequence relationship. We will have to break this vicious circle. | 107 |
| Kelly Rowland | Self-reflection is so healthy. Journaling works for me - when I record the details of what I'm going through, whether it's a relationship issue or negative thoughts, I can look back and see how far I've come. It makes me proud to see my progress and how I got through a bad situation. | 107 |
| Kris Carr | Trust is a core currency of any relationship. Sometimes our need to control and micromanage everything erodes our confidence in ourselves and others. The truth: People are much more capable than we think. A hearty dose of trust is often what's needed to unlock the magic. Go ahead, have faith. | 107 |
| Liv Tyler | I think it's healthy for couples to be away from each other for short periods. | 107 |
| Mario Andretti | It seemed like whenever I got a bona fide offer from Ferrari, I couldn't do it. And vice versa - when I was ready, their seats were taken. We always had a relationship, but what's important is that I pretty much started my F1 career with them and ended it there, too. | 107 |
| Martin Seligman | On the relationship side, if you teach people to respond actively and constructively when someone they care about has a victory, it increases love and friendship and decreases the probability of depression. | 107 |
| Paul Haggis | I have so many questions about love. How do you win at it? Especially if you're in a relationship with an impossible person? What if you believe in someone who's completely untrustworthy, who at their core can't even believe in themselves? | 107 |
| Piet Mondrian | Everything is expressed through relationship. Colour can exist only through other colours, dimension through other dimensions, position through other positions that oppose them. That is why I regard relationship as the principal thing. | 107 |
| Priyanka Chopra | I totally commit and completely give myself to a relationship. Be warned, though - I don't like being taken for granted, so I can be pretty high-maintenance sometimes! | 107 |
| Vir Das | I'm kind of a rebound junkie. So. when a relationship goes sour, I look at the sweetness in life elsewhere. So, I date a bit. The best catharsis is to write jokes and tell 4,000 people about it. | 107 |
| Washington Irving | Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love. | 107 |
| William Glasser | What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher. | 107 |
| Yuvraj Singh | I have been in love, and it was a great feeling. It's when you are attracted to and feel affection for someone. You want to do things for that person. But only love isn't enough in a relationship - understanding and communication are very important aspects. | 107 |
| Arthur Smith | The history of the relationship between comedy and swimming is short indeed. Of course it is always funny when someone falls into water, but that's about it. | 107 |
| Duane Michals | Even in the deepest love relationship - when lovers say 'I love you' to each other - we don't really know what we're saying, because language isn't equal to the complexity of human emotions. | 107 |
| Garry Shandling | Which is, I'm an optimist that two people can be together to work out their conflicts. And that commitment, I think, might be what love is, because they both grow from their relationship. | 107 |
| Jacqueline Novogratz | Many business leaders are seeing the relationship between long term success and sustainability, and that's very heartening. | 107 |
| Michael Mullen | I've said for a long time, clearly the - a, a critical key to success in the region is going to be Pakistan and our relationship with Pakistan, which was one that was broken in the late '80s and which we've worked hard to restore. | 107 |
| Milton Glaser | The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows. | 107 |
| Rachel Kushner | When one is the type of writer who cares about the meaning of the historically specific setting, the history itself is not something that I would call backdrop. It's not window dressing for a timeless relationship about love and betrayal. For me, the setting and the specific history are active co-agents with me in trying to form the novel. | 107 |
| Sufjan Stevens | I have a love/hate relationship with Amy Grant, but I do go back to her Christmas albums once in a while. They're dated and sentimental and the production is nearly unlistenable, but there's something about her vocal performance that just feels really true. I would take her Christmas albums over Mariah Carey's or Destiny's Child's any day. | 107 |
| Andrew Cohen | Our relationship to reality and to our experience is all based upon the ideas in our mind that we're always trying to live up to. | 107 |
| John Battelle | I've always liked the fact that anyone with a great idea, access to the Internet, and an unrelenting will can spark a world-beating company simply by standing up code on the Internet and/or leveraging the information and relationship network that is the web. That's how Facebook started, after all. | 107 |
| Marc Ostrofsky | Corporations invest in sophisticated CRM, or Customer Relationship Management, programs to effectively oversee their relationship with their customers at every point during the buying process. | 107 |
| Michael Ian Black | I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage, which is going on 14 years, I don't think of it as 'I'm going to be with this person forever.' Instead, I think of more like, 'I'll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I'll re-evaluate.' | 107 |
| Scott Stapp | I always believed in God and Christ, but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn. | 107 |
| Sherwin B. Nuland | We have had a rewarding relationship, the belly and I. | 107 |
| Andy Garcia | In a marriage, in any long-term relationship, not to bother with lying. There's no time for that. If you have any sort of secret life, it will come back to haunt you. | 107 |
| Jessica Savitch | The relationship between talent and management is uneasy, at best. | 107 |
| Josh Turner | I'm thankful to have Jesus as my Savior. My relationship with God has always been one to where I'm talking to him all day, every day, about anything and everything. It's just a continuous ongoing conversation that I have with the Lord, and I feel like that's brought me closer to Him. | 107 |
| Michelangelo Antonioni | Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance. | 107 |
| Jessica Capshaw | The end of anything is not fun because there's a nostalgia to it and everything else. Even the end of a bad relationship can feel so, so, so sad. | 107 |
| Eleanor Roosevelt | We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all. | 108 |
| Rabindranath Tagore | Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom. | 108 |
| William Arthur Ward | Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you. | 108 |
| Barbara De Angelis | When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship. | 108 |
| Common | People that I care about, that I consider being friends of mine, most of the things I discuss with them I wouldn't discuss in public because it's a real relationship. It's not a relationship for the public, you know? | 108 |
| Dietrich Bonhoeffer | We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer. | 108 |
| Florence Welch | There's such an extreme feeling to be in love, especially in quite an emotionally destructive relationship, where you're both kind of really bad for each other, but you love each other so much. Those extreme emotions, I think, can only be described with extreme imagery. | 108 |
| Gerry Cooney | Growing up training, I use to get up so early I would wave to the garbage men going by. So, I had this relationship with Blue Collar America and I really liked it. I felt that lots of those people looked forward to me winning. | 108 |
| Gianni Versace | I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom. | 108 |
| Harold S. Geneen | Every company has two organizational structures: The formal one is written on the charts; the other is the everyday relationship of the men and women in the organization. | 108 |
| Jeff Bridges | If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you get the richness that's available in a long-term relationship. | 108 |
| Kate Middleton | Well I think if you really go out with someone for quite a long time you do get to know each other very, very well, you go through the good times, you go through the bad times. You know both personally, but also within a relationship as well. | 108 |
| Kathy Ireland | My family gave me values that have sustained me through situations that would challenge any person. My personal relationship with the Lord inspires me in all I do. | 108 |
| Lena Dunham | I feel like you don't know if someone's equipped for a romantic relationship until they're out of their twenties. | 108 |
| Lorde | I curate my life in a way. It's always playing on my mind, kind of a love-hate relationship. I'm not one of those people who's, like, 'I wish Facebook wasn't around,' because, you know, it is what it is. | 108 |
| Luis Suarez | Away from the pitch, I'm a very calm person. I maybe have the odd cross word with my wife, like any relationship, but that's it. | 108 |
| Tim Tebow | If you're married, and you have a wife, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife 'I love her' the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and every opportunity? And that's how I feel about my relationship with Jesus Christ is that it is the most important thing in my life. | 108 |
| Warren Farrell | Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger - they can disagree with you and argue to the bone, but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered. | 108 |
| Willa Cather | The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one's own. | 108 |
| Alison Sweeney | My husband and I have known each other since kindergarten. I had a crush on him in school, but we never dated. Then we saw each other again after high school, and there was something instantly familiar about him. I'm a very shy person and was very closed off. But he allowed me to be myself. And there's a safety in that. | 108 |
| Amy Sedaris | My father and I have a very good relationship. We always got along. But I always scold him. | 108 |
| Bethany Mota | I'm all about building a relationship with viewers and getting to know them. | 108 |
| Bipasha Basu | Any relationship should have love, and if there is no love, it is better to call off a relationship. People say that love happens only once, but I don't believe in it because for me, if one relationship doesn't work, you should move on and seek love in another relationship. Who knows; you might find love in the second relationship. | 108 |
| Britt Robertson | I've gone to prom multiple times, had fights with the principal, a relationship with my teacher. When people ask if I wish I had gone to high school, I tell them that I've acted all of that stuff out, and it just doesn't seem like fun. | 108 |
| Deborah Moggach | Independence is fun, especially when there's a beloved waiting in the wings, and freedom makes you a more interesting person. Having separate lives brings fresh air into a relationship. | 108 |
| Luigi Pirandello | I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you. | 108 |
| Maurice Strong | I am President of the UN created University for Peace, which has a strong commitment to the relationship between peace, security and the environment. I meet with young people around the world and I always come away enthused and encouraged. | 108 |
| Shailene Woodley | I think the most important thing in life is self-love, because if you don't have self-love, and respect for everything about your own body, your own soul, your own capsule, then how can you have an authentic relationship with anyone else? | 108 |
| Anton Yelchin | Every relationship I've been in becomes long-distance because of work. It's never worked out. It puts an intense strain on the relationship, and at a certain point, it becomes too difficult. | 108 |
| Ariel Pink | There's no relationship to the narrative anymore. People want their own interpretation of history. We're compartmentalizing, forgetting what came directly before, like it's not a big deal. That, to me, is a crime. | 108 |
| John Niven | I've never understood why the end of a relationship - especially one involving children - has to immediately signal a descent into hatred and toxicity. | 108 |
| Dolph Lundgren | My sensei was a British karate champion named Brian Fitkin. He was my mentor and because I had a hard relationship with my dad, he became a father figure to me. | 108 |
| Maurice Chevalier | It is always the same: women bedeck themselves with jewels and furs, and men with wit and quotations. | 108 |
| Michel Gondry | I shoot people in a way that makes the audience feel equal to them. And it's hard to express and it's hard to execute but I think it works on every level - the choice of the material the choice of the actor, my relationship with the actor, and so on. | 108 |
| Robert Cormier | Family life was wonderful. The streets were bleak. The playgrounds were bleak. But home was always warm. My mother and father had a great relationship. I always felt 'safe' there. | 108 |
| Bono | But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross. | 109 |
| Alan Turing | I want a permanent relationship, and I might feel inclined to reject anything which of its nature could not be permanent. | 109 |
| Alex Ferguson | In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury. | 109 |
| Anne Hathaway | I've always believed in people's capacity for goodness. I still believe that people are good. What I'm not so trusting about anymore is their relationship to their own goodness. | 109 |
| Cary Fukunaga | I have a really good relationship with Focus Features; we had a wonderful time working together on 'Sin Nombre.' | 109 |
| Charles B. Rangel | If there's no relationship with a father who's absent, nobody talks about it. | 109 |
| French Montana | Umm... I don't judge my relationship with Puff or Bad Boy according to other people or past artists. At the end of the day, you are in charge of your career, and you can't depend on no man to do anything for you. I've learned to judge relationships with a person on myself and that person, not what they have done with previous people. | 109 |
| Graham Greene | In human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths. | 109 |
| Guy Finley | Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person, place, and event - serves a very special, if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way. | 109 |
| Hugh Hefner | My first wife was a brunette, and Barbi Benton, my major romantic relationship of the early 1970s, was a brunette. But since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonds. | 109 |
| Laura Schlessinger | Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship. | 109 |
| Uma Thurman | It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet. | 109 |
| Wynonna Judd | The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex. | 109 |
| Yuvraj Singh | Relationships survive on trust, and if that is broken at any point, it's pretty much the end of the relationship. Besides, inability to communicate leads to problems. | 109 |
| Yves Behar | Design needs a new relationship with the world, one that is more focused on our planet's needs. | 109 |
| Zubin Mehta | I feel that the critic and music director should have such a good relationship they can pick up the phone and call each other any time. | 109 |
| Robert Pattinson | This thing with everyone knowing you, it's weird, because people have this one-sided relationship where they look at your picture and feel they know you more than someone they actually know. I don't really know myself that well. | 109 |
| Douglas Conant | Too many leaders are so caught up in the momentum of work that they lose sight of the opportunity to connect with people. I discovered that the more fully present I was with other people, the more fully present they were with me, and the more productive our relationship became over time. | 109 |
| Rachel Bilson | It's important not to ditch your mates when you're in a relationship. Lots of girls do it, but you need to remember they will always be there for you. | 109 |
| Joichi Ito | Money creates a power relationship between the payer and the payee. | 109 |
| James Cromwell | I think the relationship of indigenous people to their environment... that those were ethical omnivores. | 109 |
| John McWhorter | People think of black English as ungrammatical, but it bears the same relationship to standard English as contemporary Hebrew does to ancient Hebrew. | 109 |
| Justin Welby | You see gay relationships that are just stunning in the quality of the relationship. | 109 |
| Plato | You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. | 110 |
| Andrew Lloyd Webber | I guess we've had a very close relationship because I don't pretend to know about cinema and I think I do know a bit about theatre but he does, he respected that and so we really just had a collaboration which went completely like this. | 110 |
| Anne Rice | When you make his sandwiches, put a sexy or loving note in his lunch box. | 110 |
| Daniel Day-Lewis | I think I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not really aware of that time passing. I don't feel that I'm wasteful with time. But I'm not aware of it passing. | 110 |
| Evo Morales | The relationship between the government of the United States and social and indigenous movements has always been difficult. Not just in Bolivia but worldwide. We need to have bilateral relations characterized by mutual respect. | 110 |
| Ho Chi Minh | The object of my relationship with Vietnam has been to heal the wounds that exist, particularly among our veterans, and to move forward with a positive relationship,... Apparently some in the Vietnamese government don't want to do that and that's their decision. | 110 |
| Jennifer Lopez | I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I'm not talking about material things but what I have to offer as a person - love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship. | 110 |
| Lykke Li | The problem is, when I talk about heartbreak or whatever, people want to melt it down to some break-up of a relationship, but it's not about that. If you're a sensitive person, just stepping outside can be heartbreaking. | 110 |
| Mike Birbiglia | I think that my regrets mostly have to do with my relationship with my ex-girlfriend. Every once in a while, you get those flashback memories of conversations you had with your exes, and you just, like, wince when you're walking down the street. Something occurs to you, 'Oh, no, I said that.' | 110 |
| Norm MacDonald | I started on 'Saturday Night Live' the same time Conan started on Late Night. We just had a relationship because I would be upstairs in the studio and whenever he couldn't get a guest - which was often back then since he was just starting out - he would just call me down to be a guest. | 110 |
| Phil Robertson | Money can come and go, and fame comes and goes. Peace of mind and a relationship with God is far more important, so this is the precedent that we've set in our lives. The bottom line is, we all die, so Jesus is the answer. | 110 |
| Ram Dass | When I look at relationships, my own and others, I see a wide range of reasons for people to be together and ways in which they are together. I see ways in which a relationship - which means something that exists between two or more people - for the most part reinforces people's separateness as individual entities. | 110 |
| Ryan Lochte | I believe everyone has a soul mate that they can spend the rest of their life together. | 110 |
| Sheri L. Dew | You cannot have a relationship with someone you can't trust. | 110 |
| Vanessa Paradis | Sometimes you could be in an unhappy relationship; you are very much in love with someone, but it's making you unhappy and you think things can change and you can work it out. | 110 |
| Amy Adams | Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. | 110 |
| Bella Thorne | It's not the traditional promise ring. It's basically to always stay truthful. I think that's a really important part of a relationship, that you're always honest with each other. | 110 |
| Colin Firth | I have a very long relationship with America. My mother grew up there and I felt to some extent that I partly belong there. I was schooled there briefly for about a year. | 110 |
| Josh McDowell | I would say 90 percent of Christians do not have a worldview, in other words a view of the world, based on the Scripture and a relationship with God. | 110 |
| Laura Wasser | Just as you go to the gym regularly to keep your body fit, regular couples counseling can keep your relationship fit as well. | 110 |
| Lisa Ling | I hope my desire to travel so much isn't forever because it's not the most conducive lifestyle for a relationship or a family by any means. | 110 |
| Neil Strauss | A pick-up artist gave me a good piece of advice: the three most important things in a relationship are honesty, trust and respect, and if you don't have those, you don't have love. | 110 |
| Ross Kemp | I've always had a lot of time for servicemen. Yet there's been this bad relationship between civilians and the armed services. We say to soldiers, 'We want you when we want you, but stay away in peacetime. We're proud of you, but keep away from my daughter and don't come drinking in my pub.' | 110 |
| Srikumar Rao | If you have an ongoing relationship with a person, think of everything positive about that person that you possibly can and enter your interaction from that space. Ignore all the crap that used to drive you up the wall before. You will be amazed at what a change this attitude shift brings about. | 110 |
| Janeane Garofalo | Let's put it this way: I don't have a good work ethic. I have a real casual relationship with hours. I don't understand why, in entertainment, the hours are as long as they are. It seems like everything takes forever, and no one can tell you why, exactly. | 110 |
| John Perry Barlow | Royalties are not how most writers or musicians make their living. Musicians by and large make a living with a relationship with an audience that is economically harnessed through performance and ticket sales. | 110 |
| Sophie Kinsella | I think a lot of people still fantasise about that first love and what might happen if they rekindled the relationship. | 110 |
| Stanislav Grof | The beliefs concerning reincarnation have great ethical impact on human life and our relationship to the world. | 110 |
| Janet Reno | At this moment I do not have a personal relationship with a computer. | 110 |
| Dean Acheson | The most important aspect of the relationship between the president and the secretary of state is that they both understand who is president. | 110 |
| JC Chasez | I don't need a Hollywood girl. They're crazy. If you're with an actress, you don't know who you're going to come home to every day. But I wouldn't mind a relationship with the right girl. Every artist needs a muse. | 110 |
| Taylor Swift | You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it. | 111 |
| Andy Goldsworthy | The relationship between the public and the artist is complex and difficult to explain. There is a fine line between using this critical energy creatively and pandering to it. | 111 |
| Billy Corgan | You've got to be ready to be in a great relationship. | 111 |
| David Cameron | It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable. | 111 |
| Gary Zukav | When two people in an intimate-couple relationship look at their interactions as opportunities to learn about themselves instead of change each other, they are infusing their relationship with the energy of spiritual partnership. | 111 |
| Harrison Ford | I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship. | 111 |
| Helen Mirren | There is that awful moment when you realize that you're falling in love. That should be the most joyful moment, and actually it's not. It's always a moment that's full of fear because you know, as night follows day, the joy is going to rapidly be followed by some pain or other. All the angst of a relationship. | 111 |
| Jennifer Aniston | OK, in all seriousness, I would say I couldn't be in a relationship without equality, generosity, integrity, spirit, kindness and humor. And awesomeness. | 111 |
| John Henrik Clarke | A people's relationship to their heritage is the same as the relationship of a child to its mother. | 111 |
| Lea Michele | Growing up in New York has influenced my style so much, and I have an amazing relationship with my stylist, Estee Stanley. We have so much fun with the whole process. She picks out dresses, I try things on and play dress up, and we get creative to see what works. | 111 |
| Marlene Dietrich | Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast. | 111 |
| Pope Benedict XVI | How much we need, in the church and in society, witnesses of the beauty of holiness, witnesses of the splendour of truth, witnesses of the joy and freedom born of a living relationship with Christ! | 111 |
| Seth Rogen | My mom drives me crazy sometimes, but I have a good relationship with her. | 111 |
| Tom Hardy | If you're lucky like me, your relationship with your brother has resolved itself on the peaceful side of the fence and has stayed there. But if you're someone who's got a family that's all fractured and finding it hard to relate, that's a very sad place to be. | 111 |
| Vivek Wadhwa | The mentor-mentee relationship is ideally like that of the guru and disciple: motivated by the desire of the guru to impart knowledge to the disciple. | 111 |
| Bradley Cooper | In a relationship you want to treat people the way you want to be treated. | 111 |
| Clarissa Pinkola Estes | When women reassert their relationship with the wildish nature, they are gifted with a permanent and internal watcher, a knower, a visionary, an oracle, an inspiratrice, an intuitive, a maker, a creator, an inventor, and a listener who guide, suggest, and urge vibrant life in the inner and outer world. | 111 |
| Dionne Warwick | Do you know that other than my father, I've never had a man take care of me? | 111 |
| Evan Williams | People are fans of Dunkin' Donuts. They have a relationship with the company, they go there every day. Dunkin' Donuts is using Twitter to communicate with those people. There are people who are finding value in that. There's thousands of people, I don't know how many thousands now, following Dunkin' Donuts. | 111 |
| Frank Iero | The relationship between 'My Chemical Romance' and Michael Pedicone is over. He was caught red-handed stealing from the band and confessed to police after our show last night in Auburn, Washington. We are heartbroken and sick to our stomachs over this entire situation. | 111 |
| Kenny Loggins | You must have love as the core; it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go. | 111 |
| Laura Wasser | If some people try to make a prenup into a pre-negotiation of a divorce... Well, that's really sad. But I do think that it's important to understand what each person has coming into the relationship, and what each person expects from the relationship. They aren't always fun discussions to have, and they can be very eye-opening. | 111 |
| Saoirse Ronan | I like films where there's a relationship between two women. I always think that's lovely to watch on the screen. | 111 |
| Jim Yong Kim | The relationship between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala fundamentally changes with meditation. | 111 |
| Steve Harvey | You've got to be in a bad relationship to really understand what a great one is. | 112 |
| Amy Jo Martin | Social media provides an avenue to build relationships with media outlets and have an ongoing relationship with reporters. | 112 |
| Big Sean | I definitely consider myself a Christian. There's things that I believe in, there's things I have a self-belief on. I know I got a great relationship with God and the universe. I just believe in being a righteous person and karma. Doing unto others as you would have done unto you. I really want to help teach that. | 112 |
| Brian Eno | Instruments sound interesting, not because of their sound, but because of the relationship a player has with them. Instrumentalists build a rapport with their instruments, which is what you like and respond to. | 112 |
| Chris Evans | I am single and not looking to be in a relationship. | 112 |
| Dawn French | That's the awful thing about dating. Tight underwear. We would all like to be in a big bra and pants and when you are in a secure relationship you can do that. | 112 |
| Donald Glover | I personally don't believe people really grow. They just learn stuff when they were a kid, and hold on to it, and that affects every relationship they have. | 112 |
| Dorothy Day | Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them. | 112 |
| E. Stanley Jones | To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. | 112 |
| Elia Kazan | Our relationship was cursed by the fact that we agreed on everything. | 112 |
| Gilbert Gottfried | I can't even find someone for a platonic relationship, much less the kind where someone wants to see me naked. | 112 |
| Ginnifer Goodwin | I'm a better person in a relationship, and I'm a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid, because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure. | 112 |
| Guy Lafleur | The players wanted more money, higher salary caps and they didn't have that family relationship we felt with the players. Mentally, the players were more businesslike. | 112 |
| Halle Berry | I won't have a traditional marriage; I don't find the value in that anymore. But I am such a hopeless romantic and I really want love and I want a committed relationship, so I am going to reinvent marriage for myself. | 112 |
| Martin Scorsese | A lot of what I'm obsessed with is the relationship and the dynamics between people and the family, particularly brothers and their father. | 112 |
| Nick Cannon | I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad. | 112 |
| Robert Rauschenberg | There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain. | 112 |
| Steve Earle | To me, religion is an agreement between a group of people about what God is. Spirituality is a one-on-one relationship. | 112 |
| Alice Waters | It's hard to come into a new relationship with food unless you're engaged in an interactive way at an early age; it's hard to change your values. | 112 |
| Jason Calacanis | If you get people to commit to an email relationship, it's the deepest, most intimate relationship you can have online. Much deeper than Facebook and certainly more intimate than a blog. | 112 |
| Jenny McCarthy | I know children regress after vaccination because it happened to my own son. Why aren't there any tests out there on the safety of how vaccines are administered in the real world, six at a time? Why have only two of the 36 shots our kids receive been looked at for their relationship to autism? | 112 |
| Joe Torre | That's the sign of a good relationship, when you can pick up a phone and it doesn't matter when the last time you spoke was. | 112 |
| Justin Timberlake | Every relationship I've been in, I've overwhelmed the girl. They just can't handle all the love. | 112 |
| Michael Eric Dyson | There's a great book about John Kennedy and his relationship to civil rights called 'The Bystander.' The title alone suggests that he did as little as possible, any minimal critical effort, to really facilitate civil rights in the White House. | 112 |
| Sam Taylor-Wood | My mum has lived in Australia for 22 years now, and we have a rocky relationship. But at the same time it's one I want to maintain. I need her to be my mum. The relationship took a lot of rebuilding. | 112 |
| Suzi Quatro | Anyone who has had their heart broken learns to keep a little safety area. Even now in my relationship, I have something I can call my own in case something goes wrong. You need a place to retreat to. | 112 |
| Tahar Ben Jelloun | Poetry is a form of mathematics, a highly rigorous relationship with words. | 112 |
| Jean Giraudoux | Men should only believe half of what women say. But which half? | 112 |
| Marion Cotillard | I think in friendship, you want to be there for your friend, and sometimes you just don't know what to do or the relationship you have with them is not clear enough for you to know what to do. | 112 |
| Tyga | I want to make people feel certain ways when they listen to my music. Whether it's partying or going through relationship problems or grinding or getting dressed and feeling fly. I want to be who I am and have emotion in my music that affects people. | 112 |
| Jerzy Kosinski | The things I write are for those who are willing to accept a new relationship between the reader and the author. | 112 |
| Goldie Hawn | No relationship is easy, and nobody should ever think it is. The minute you start forgetting the needs of the other person is when you get in trouble. | 113 |
| Joseph Campbell | When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship. | 113 |
| Wayne Dyer | Relationships based on obligation lack dignity. | 113 |
| Iyanla Vanzant | What will support any relationship is clear, complete and conscious conversations when upsets or breakdowns occur. | 113 |
| Denis Waitley | Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods. | 113 |
| Adam Sandler | Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family, because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone's grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show. | 113 |
| Eli Roth | I think that horror films have a very direct relationship to the time in which they're made. The films that really strike a film with the public are very often reflecting something that everyone, consciously or unconsciously feeling - atomic age, post 9-11, post Iraq war; it's hard to predict what people are going to be afraid of. | 113 |
| Halle Berry | I'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage. | 113 |
| Havelock Ellis | The family only represents one aspect, however important an aspect, of a human being's functions and activities. A life is beautiful and ideal or the reverse, only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship. | 113 |
| Karen Salmansohn | The best relationship is one that does not foster too much independence nor too much dependence, but exists in the healthy interdependence zone. | 113 |
| Katy Perry | I don't care what people say about my relationship; I don't care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs; I have a sold-out tour. I'm getting incredible feedback from my music. | 113 |
| Max Lucado | There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes - seize it, don't miss it. | 113 |
| Rollo May | The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it's not without doubt but in spite of doubt. | 113 |
| William Glasser | Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world. | 113 |
| Candice Swanepoel | A relationship is like another job, you know, you have to work at it all the time. | 113 |
| Joseph Prince | God doesn't want us to have rigid rituals with Him. In the new covenant, He is more interested in having a relationship with us. | 113 |
| Matt Cameron | Creatively, I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all, and our chemistry as people broke down because of that. | 113 |
| Monica Lewinsky | This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all the way through. I don't accept that he had to completely desecrate my character. | 113 |
| Richard Lamm | Politics is a love-hate relationship. I sure know that. | 113 |
| Taylor Lautner | Filming 'Eclipse' - Eclipse was my favorite book so I was really excited to start filming the movie. I just love that it's the height of the love triangle. 'Twilight' develops Edward and Bella's relationship, 'New Moon' develops Jacob and Bella's and in 'Eclipse,' the three of them are physically together. | 113 |
| Joseph Franklin Rutherford | The Bible is the only credible guide either as to the real relationship between man and the earth and the great Creator of both or concerning the purpose of the creation of both. | 113 |
| Amy Grant | Real relationship is gritty and earthy, the stuff that life is made of. | 114 |
| David Bohm | Then there is the further question of what is the relationship of thinking to reality. As careful attention shows, thought itself is in an actual process of movement. | 114 |
| Felicia Day | I'm a huge fan of BioWare games. I think they do some of the best character-building. I mean, I have a relationship with Thane from 'Mass Effect' that is as vivid as any crush that I've had on a TV-show character. | 114 |
| Henry Cloud | I do believe there are things that we desire that are not in the cards. But more often than not, when people have a desire for a relationship and it's not happening, there are probably issues to be resolved and issues people could work on that would ultimately end in that desire being fulfilled. | 114 |
| Mortimer Adler | Ultimately, we wish the joy of perfect union with the person we love. | 114 |
| Pedro Almodovar | I think that there is always a part of utopia in any romantic relationship. | 114 |
| Thomas Friedman | Golf has an ambivalent relationship with the environment. On one hand, it's a great preserver of open spaces. Golf doesn't pave the world - it helps to green the world. But the downside is, it uses a lot of fertilizer, pesticides and water. | 114 |
| Tim Gunn | I wouldn't know what to do on a date. I don't have the time. To make a relationship work, I'd have to give something up, and I'm not so sure I'm willing to do that. | 114 |
| Wilbur Smith | I'm not a good father and they're not children any more; the eldest is in his fifties. My relationship with their mothers broke down and, because of what the law was, they went with their mothers and were imbued with their mothers' morality in life and they were not my people any more. | 114 |
| J. C. Watts | The establishment wonders why we can't get more of the black vote. It's because it's not doing the things necessary to establish a deeper relationship with the black community. Most black people don't think alike. Most black people just vote alike. | 114 |
| Leighton Meester | The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can't just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don't know them. It's the same thing with a relationship. | 114 |
| Marsha Blackburn | There's an inverse relationship between the size and scope of government and the health of our free-market economy. | 114 |
| Peter Zumthor | My relationship to plants becomes closer and closer. They make me quiet; I like to be in their company. | 114 |
| Suzi Quatro | Even though my first marriage broke up, I'd say that I've had two good marriages and two good men. I've been very lucky. I like to think it's karma because, in a relationship, I give 300 per cent. I'm straight with my men, and I like to think it comes back. | 114 |
| Ryan Giggs | I had my footballing heroes such as Bryan Robson and Diego Maradona but my dad was a rugby league star, and he was my real hero. But the relationship with my mum was rocky and we saw things that would affect any youngster. | 114 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | I'm a hopeless romantic, and very much the person in a relationship to go: If things are going well, I'll buy the flowers, remember the dates of things, plan fun nights out. | 114 |
| Steve Harvey | I'm not really a relationship expert but... I'm an expert on manhood and what men think. | 115 |
| William F. Buckley, Jr. | There is an inverse relationship between reliance on the state and self-reliance. | 115 |
| David Whyte | Honesty lies in understanding our close and necessary relationship with not wanting to hear the truth. | 115 |
| Eddie Vedder | Music was your real passion, this thing you held dear even above family. It was this relationship that never betrayed you. Once it became your job - this thing that was highly visible, this thing that became about commerce - that's when you were holding onto music like it was a palm tree in a hurricane. | 115 |
| Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton | Love thou the rose, yet leave it on its stem. | 115 |
| Edwin Louis Cole | Men and women have strengths that complement each other. | 115 |
| Enrique Pena Nieto | In terms of the espionage, this is something I have talked to President Obama about. We don't want it to mar the relationship between Mexico and the United States. But it is unacceptable for a country to practice such espionage, especially if there is a good relationship with the other country. | 115 |
| Graham Norton | Straight men just can't imagine the bliss of being in a relationship with someone who finds farting as funny as they do. | 115 |
| Howard Schultz | Great companies that build an enduring brand have an emotional relationship with customers that has no barrier. And that emotional relationship is on the most important characteristic, which is trust. | 115 |
| Lana Del Rey | I have kind of a funny relationship with movies. I don't have to see the whole movie to get an impression of it or to let it have an influence on me. | 115 |
| Li Keqiang | China-Africa relationship has a long history and is full of vitality. Since the 1950s and 1960s, our common historical experiences have brought China and Africa together, and we have forged deep friendship in our joint struggle during which we have supported each other in times of difficulty. | 115 |
| Marianne Williamson | Relationships are eternal. The 'separation' is another chapter in the relationship. Often, letting go of the old form of the relationship becomes a lesson in pure love much deeper than any would have learned had the couple stayed together. | 115 |
| Rebecca Solnit | As I started to pursue the subject more deeply I realized that walking was this wonderful meandering path through everything I was already interested in - gender politics, public space and urban life, demonstrations and parades and marches. The relationship between walking and thinking and between the mind and the body. | 115 |
| Robert Gottlieb | The eternal and uneasy relationship between ballet and modern dance endures, but radically altered in tone and intensity. | 115 |
| Stevie Nicks | My generation fought very hard for feminism, and we fought very hard to not be labeled as you had to have a husband or you had to be in a relationship, or you were somehow not a cool chick. | 115 |
| Tony Campolo | Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed, are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit, and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith. | 115 |
| Victoria Justice | I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom, for whatever reason, the best thing to do is be open with each other, talk it over, try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away. | 115 |
| Anne Graham Lotz | My life's goal is not to write books; my life's goal is to know God better today. The neat thing about a goal like that is you can achieve it. Faith is constant; it's a relationship. | 115 |
| Brittany Snow | Social media, for me, is about interacting with people who follow my career. I don't think my relationship has anything to do with my career. | 115 |
| Emraan Hashmi | Every married man who wants peace in the relationship, should learn the trick to avoid that one question - 'How is the food?' | 115 |
| Joyce Brothers | Real intimacy is only possible to the degree that we can be honest about what we are doing and feeling. | 115 |
| Ken Salazar | On the Native American front, we have turned a new page in the 400-year history of the interface between the American settlers of this country and the nation's first Americans. That's included a new relationship where the sovereignty of tribes is in fact recognized. | 115 |
| Jason Reitman | Selfishness, narcissism, being uncomfortable in your own skin, not feeling connected to the world around you, feeling dislocated from family and youth, having a strange relationship with your childhood - all those things feel really true to me. | 115 |
| Mahalia Jackson | Everybody needs somebody. | 115 |
| Brandi Chastain | You'll be dedicated and that's what you should want to be in anything in life - whether it's sports or academics or your relationship. It all stems from finding that fun, that thrill, that excitement. | 115 |
| Mother Teresa | Intense love does not measure, it just gives. | 116 |
| Indira Gandhi | There is not love where there is no will. | 116 |
| Amelia Earhart | Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men. | 116 |
| Angela Davis | To understand how any society functions you must understand the relationship between the men and the women. | 116 |
| Anthony Kiedis | The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative. | 116 |
| Arundhati Roy | Sometimes I think the world is divided into those who have a comfortable relationship with power and those who have a naturally adversarial relationship with power. | 116 |
| Babe Ruth | As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy. | 116 |
| Cornel West | Every president needs to deal with the permanent government of the country, and the permanent government of the country is Wall Street oligarchs and corporate plutocrats and the questions becomes what is the relationship between that president and Wall Street. | 116 |
| Enrique Pena Nieto | I think a good relationship that Mexico could maintain with the United States and vice versa should be based on trust, on opening - openness and constant dialogue that would allow us essentially to define, share objectives and to work towards those so as to avoid activities which are not known to the other government. | 116 |
| Hunter Hayes | Unfortunately, I'm more experienced than I care to admit on long-distance relationships. Just because that is my life. I travel because I love to. As a result, I have to sort of make it work when a relationship kind of comes into view. | 116 |
| Novak Djokovic | It's interesting that I had such a close relationship with my grandfather. Because your parents always judge you: they say, 'You shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that.' But with your grandparents you have a feeling that you can say anything or you can do anything, and they will support you. That's why you have this kind of connection. | 116 |
| Roger Moore | Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship, we are two very different people, but we did share a sense of humor, we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between. | 116 |
| Thomas Szasz | Individual psychotherapy - that is, engaging a distressed fellow human in a disciplined conversation and human relationship - requires that the therapist have the proper temperament and philosophy of life for such work. By that I mean that the therapist must be patient, modest, and a perceptive listener, rather than a talker and advice-giver. | 116 |
| Adrienne Rich | Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe. | 116 |
| Anne Graham Lotz | Abraham is such a fascinating figure. Three world religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - all claim him as a patriarch. He was raised in a religious home. And yet he rejected religion in order to pursue a personal relationship with God. | 116 |
| Joyce Brothers | The topic of trust is an important factor in all matters of the heart - and here's why. Men lie to women. Women lie to men. And most people agree that some lying is even necessary - to avoid petty squabbles and to grease the wheels of a relationship. | 116 |
| Mariella Frostrup | We invest less in our friendships and expect more of friends than any other relationship. We spend days working out where to book for a romantic dinner, weeks wondering how to celebrate a partner or parent's birthday, and seconds forgetting a friend's important anniversary. | 116 |
| Mila Kunis | I honestly think being single's great. Being in a relationship's great. It's all about the timing. | 116 |
| David A. Bednar | By divine design, men and women are intended to progress together toward perfection and a fulness of glory. Because of their distinctive temperaments and capacities, males and females each bring to a marriage relationship unique perspectives and experiences. | 117 |
| Ginger Rogers | Over the years, myths were built up about my relationship with Fred Astaire. The general public thought he was a Svengali, who snapped his fingers for his little Trilby to obey; in their eyes, my career was his creation. | 117 |
| Gunter Grass | My relationship with Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm reaches far back into my childhood. I grew up with Grimm's fairy tales. I even saw a theater production of 'Tom Thumb' during Advent at the State Theater in Danzig, which my mother took me to see. | 117 |
| Hunter Hayes | I struggled with feeling confident for a long time, but I think it's important to be strong and not compromise for anyone or a relationship - I'm drawn to that. | 117 |
| Jennifer Aniston | A relationship isn't going to make me survive. It's the cherry on top. | 117 |
| Laurence J. Peter | It's better to have loved and lost than to have to do forty pounds of laundry a week. | 117 |
| Mindy Kaling | My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that I've ever had in my life. | 117 |
| Mitt Romney | My view is that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. That's the position I've had for some time, and I don't intend to make any adjustments at this point... Or ever, by the way. | 117 |
| Pope Benedict XVI | The life of the community, both domestically and internationally, clearly demonstrates that respect for rights, and the guarantees that follow from them, are measures of the common good that serve to evaluate the relationship between justice and injustice, development and poverty, security and conflict. | 117 |
| Prince William | My relationship with my grandmother has gone from strength to strength. As a shy, younger man it could be harder to talk about weighty matters. It was: 'This is my grandmother who is the Queen, and these are serious historical subjects.' | 117 |
| Stevie Nicks | When you're rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship, even if you try hard not to be. I've talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac, but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I've ever wanted to do. | 117 |
| Theresa May | The U.K. needs a system for family migration underpinned by three simple principles. One: that those who come here should do so on the basis of a genuine relationship. Two: that migrants should be able to pay their way. And three: that they are able to integrate into British society. | 117 |
| Tim Berners-Lee | The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large. | 117 |
| Catherine Zeta-Jones | Yes, I was in love with my husband at first sight and still am. We have the most solid relationship. | 117 |
| Jeb Bush | It's a complex relationship when your dad happened to be president and you are president and then you have all the amateur psychology that goes on when people try to speculate about motivations. | 117 |
| John le Carre | Most people like to read about intrigue and spies. I hope to provide a metaphor for the average reader's daily life. Most of us live in a slightly conspiratorial relationship with our employer and perhaps with our marriage. | 117 |
| Mehmet Oz | What we have now is doctors who are actually better technically at what they're doing in their specialty than 30 or 40 years ago, but we lost the relationship, when the doctor would look people in the eye and say, 'I care about you. We can do this together.' | 117 |
| Taylor Lautner | It's important to work through things in a relationship. You can't just give up because you're frustrated. It's most important to talk things through together. And that, for me, has been the way I've best resolved problems in the past. | 117 |
| Jiddu Krishnamurti | Love is the missing factor; there is a lack of affection, of warmth in relationship; and because we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy in relationship, we escape into mass action, which produces further confusion, further misery. | 118 |
| Ben Affleck | I have a good relationship with the world. But I don't know what the trick is to maintaining it. | 118 |
| Bryant H. McGill | There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love. | 118 |
| Ciara | When you believe in yourself, and you always give 100% in a relationship, you're very confident in the value of your love. But for some people, there's that feeling that the grass is always greener. | 118 |
| Fergie | For me, I'm not a jealous person. That's just not my thing. You have to have trust in your relationship. | 118 |
| Helen Rowland | Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near. | 118 |
| Hill Harper | What I've found in doing research is that men want a relationship that feels fun. In other words, they want a relationship that has qualities or elements of their same-sex relationships - just like women do, too. | 118 |
| Paris Hilton | I get along with guys; most of my friends are guys. It's easier to trust men sometimes. I only have a few close girlfriends that I trust. | 118 |
| Sheri L. Dew | There is a direct relationship between how we feel about Jesus Christ and how we see ourselves. We cannot increase our devotion to the Savior without also obtaining a greater sense of purpose, identity, and conviction. | 118 |
| Anderson Cooper | Not to sound too Dr. Phil all of a sudden, but I think the key to survival is to embrace one's past and to not run away from it. And to come to some sort of relationship with it or understanding of it. | 118 |
| Andre Maurois | Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences. | 118 |
| Jason Mraz | If I'm in a relationship, that girl gets showered with letters from the road. I pour my heart into it. | 118 |
| Jeremy Lin | When you think about your relationship with Christ, it really just affects every aspect of your life. I think a lot of people try to segment off, like, 'This is church, so this is God, this is my daily life, this is my job,' but I think true faith is when it manifests itself in every single aspect of your life. | 118 |
| Ryan Holmes | Tech companies don't exist in a bubble; they draw from and feed into a larger community. Ideally, the relationship is symbiotic. | 118 |
| Michael Kors | North Americans as a whole need to embrace having clothes altered to their body. I hear it all the time: why do the Europeans always look so good? They have a relationship with their tailor and spend the time and money to make their clothes look their best. | 118 |
| Oscar Wilde | Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship. | 119 |
| David Whyte | All of our great traditions, religious, contemplative and artistic, say that you must a learn how to be alone - and have a relationship with silence. It is difficult, but it can start with just the tiniest quiet moment. | 119 |
| Frans de Waal | The intuitive connection children feel with animals can be a tremendous source of joy. The unconditional love received from pets, and the lack of artifice in the relationship, contrast sharply with the much trickier dealings with members of their own species. | 119 |
| Hedy Lamarr | It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy. | 119 |
| Howard Schultz | Starbucks has a role and a meaningful relationship with people that is not only about the coffee. | 119 |
| Iain Duncan Smith | By measuring the proportion of children living with the same parents from birth and whether their parents report a good quality relationship we are driving home the message that social programmes should promote family stability and avert breakdown. | 119 |
| Orlando Bloom | When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected. | 119 |
| Ramakrishna | When one has love for God, one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them. | 119 |
| Shia LaBeouf | I was in a relationship with a girl I loved for three years. Where do you go after three years? Then you've got to start thinking about other things, and I'm too young to think about those things. | 119 |
| John Piper | As a child and a teenager, my attitudes and actions assumed the superiority of my race in almost every way without knowing or wanting to know anybody who was black, except Lucy. Lucy came to our house on Saturdays to help my mother clean. I liked Lucy, but the whole structure of the relationship was demeaning. | 119 |
| Adam Sandler | I'm 31 now. I think I'm beginning to understand what life is, what romance is, and what a relationship means. | 120 |
| Helen Fisher | Jealousy can even be good for love. One partner may feel secretly flattered when the other is mildly jealous. And catching someone flirting with your beloved can spark the kind of lust and romance that reignites a relationship. | 120 |
| Igor Stravinsky | Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading. | 120 |
| Marina Abramovic | People put so much effort into starting a relationship and so little effort into ending one. | 120 |
| Matthew McConaughey | I don't dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it's gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin' White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It's connected to where you are today. | 120 |
| Megan Fox | I have no problem with commitment - you can't have a real relationship without it. I can flip on a switch in my brain, and even if the next Brad Pitt is standing next to me, I won't look at him. But I can also turn that switch off, and then I collect attractive boys. | 120 |
| Monica Bellucci | When a relationship doesn't work anymore, it's terrible to stay with someone that you don't love. | 120 |
| Shiv Khera | The erosion of extended family concept and losing out on values are the two things that are primarily responsible for the growing mismatch in the parent-child relationship. | 120 |
| Tori Amos | I think everyone understands grief, the journey it takes us on, whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a disappointment. Some people don't deal with it, the power of it. Some do. Some feel the weight of it and it informs their choices. I've had to open up to grief in different contexts. | 120 |
| Zac Efron | I think the most important thing for me in a relationship is honesty. | 120 |
| Joan Baez | The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one. | 120 |
| Kim Kardashian | There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship, and I thought that was the most important thing. | 121 |
| Taylor Swift | The drama and the trauma of the relationship you have when you're 16 can mirror the one you have when you're 26. Life repeats itself. | 121 |
| W. H. Auden | Almost all of our relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation, a mental or physical barter, to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods. | 121 |
| Jiddu Krishnamurti | Life cannot be without relationship, but we have made it so agonizing and hideous by basing it on personal and possessive love. Can one love and yet not possess? You will find the true answer not in escape, ideals, beliefs but through the understanding of the causes of dependence and possessiveness. | 121 |
| Charles Caleb Colton | If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours. | 121 |
| Deepika Padukone | I've not been in a live-in relationship. But I've been exposed to various kinds of equations that can exist between people. When I came from Bangalore, it was black and white. Over the years, I've realised that there's more to what we see on a day-to-day basis. There are all kinds of relationships, all kinds of equations. | 121 |
| Harrison Ford | I have relationships with people I'm working with, based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere, but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience. | 121 |
| Nathaniel Hawthorne | Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots. | 121 |
| Olivia Wilde | I went through a phase when I was 13 where I would only fall in love with people over the age of 19 or 20. I never had a real relationship with any of these people, but it was definitely the guy I wanted to hang out with and wanted to go on trips with. I would be like, 'But, Daddy, he's a musician!'. | 121 |
| Rick Warren | What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me. | 121 |
| Seamus Heaney | Poetry is always slightly mysterious, and you wonder what is your relationship to it. | 121 |
| Tina Turner | I never put a lot of praise on myself because of my relationship with Ike. I was just happy when I started to like myself - when I divorced and took control of my life. | 121 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | I've always wanted to be a mom. I had a great relationship with mine. I'm ready to pass on to my child all the great love that my mom had for me. | 121 |
| Joyce Meyer | I've learned through my own relationship with God that He's not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart. | 122 |
| Ben Bernanke | I and others were mistaken early on in saying that the subprime crisis would be contained. The causal relationship between the housing problem and the broad financial system was very complex and difficult to predict. | 122 |
| Katrina Kaif | My relationship with Salman Khan is too personal to talk about. I take my work like any other regular job, and what I do in my personal life is no one's business. I'd rather let my work do all the talking. | 122 |
| Leonardo DiCaprio | I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship. | 122 |
| Phil Anselmo | Communication between band-mates is imperative. Communication is the key to any healthy relationship. If I need to be checked, I expect to hear it put in plain words what my faults are, and give my band-mates the ultimate consideration by shutting up and listening, then acting on the advice given. Same goes for anyone else in any band. | 122 |
| Ricky Williams | And I think if you look at any relationship, for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow, sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear. | 122 |
| Joyce Carol Oates | The relationship between parents and children, but especially between mothers and daughters, is tremendously powerful, scarcely to be comprehended in any rational way. | 122 |
| Tom Rath | When we look at what has the strongest statistical relationship to overall evaluation of your life, the first one is your career well-being, or the mission, purpose and meaning of what you're doing when you wake up each day. | 122 |
| Jonathan Safran Foer | Jews have a special relationship to books, and the Haggadah has been translated more widely, and reprinted more often, than any other Jewish book. It is not a work of history or philosophy, not a prayer book, user's manual, timeline, poem or palimpsest - and yet it is all these things. | 122 |
| Donald Trump | I have a great relationship with the Mexican people. | 123 |
| Lionel Messi | Nah, I've always had a great relationship with my two brothers, I have always had their support in my football and in everything. They've been very close to me and we have a great relationship. | 123 |
| Steve Harvey | You have nothing if you're texting a guy in a relationship. We can text six women a minute. We can text it and push 'reply all.' I mean, since we're lying, we might as well lie to everybody. | 123 |
| Ed Sheeran | I'd like to say that I'm a rock star, but I'm not - I'm honestly more of a relationship kind of guy. I'm a guy you could take home to meet your mum rather than a guy your mum wouldn't like. | 123 |
| Lindsay Lohan | My mom is going to kill me for talking about sleeping with people. But I don't want to put myself in the position where I'm in a monogamous relationship right now. I'm not dating just one person. 'Sex and the City' changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people. | 123 |
| Margot Robbie | People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile; it puts a lot of stress on a relationship. | 123 |
| Paris Hilton | Being grown up and in a serious relationship, I've learned so much. I'm happier than I've every been. | 123 |
| Travis Bradberry | More than half of people who leave their jobs do so because of their relationship with their boss. Smart companies make certain their managers know how to balance being professional with being human. These are the bosses who celebrate an employee's success, empathize with those going through hard times, and challenge people, even when it hurts. | 123 |
| Jason Mraz | In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man. | 123 |
| Oscar Wilde | How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being. | 124 |
| Billy Graham | God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are. | 124 |
| Leo Buscaglia | What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity. | 124 |
| Victoria Osteen | Remember, if you want to love your life and live it to the fullest, don't let the sun go down on your anger. If you don't have a solution to the issue, agree to disagree and focus on the importance of the relationship. | 124 |
| Clayton Christensen | Having a loving relationship with our spouse or with our children is what leads to the long-term happiness we all seek. | 124 |
| Jennifer Aniston | I think a good relationship is about collaboration. | 124 |
| Marina Abramovic | I had a very difficult relationship with my mother. She used to wake me up in the middle of the night if I wasn't sleeping straight and was messing up the sheets. Now when I stay in hotels I sleep so straight they don't even think I've used the bed. | 124 |
| Mike Ditka | We have a strange and wonderful relationship - he's strange and I'm wonderful. | 124 |
| Rob Lowe | Getting married isn't going to make your relationship better. It's just a ceremony. | 124 |
| Sarah Jessica Parker | In a relationship, when does the art of compromise become compromising? | 124 |
| Ziggy Marley | There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don't have with anybody else, but that's not about love. Love is a spiritual thing. | 124 |
| Ayaan Hirsi Ali | Muslim leaders should ask themselves what exactly their relationship is to a political movement that encourages young men to kill and maim on religious grounds. | 124 |
| Oscar Wilde | I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything. | 125 |
| Iris Murdoch | There is no substitute for the comfort supplied by the utterly taken-for-granted relationship. | 125 |
| Chanakya | He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby. | 125 |
| Dave Matthews | I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means. | 125 |
| Helena Bonham Carter | In any relationship, after the first year is over, you can't help but want your own space. | 125 |
| Pearl S. Buck | The basic discovery about any people is the discovery of the relationship between men and women. | 125 |
| Michael Leunig | I just happen to believe that what's at stake in the early child's development is so vital and so important, and I think it is founded in the main, in the broad cultural sense, on the relationship between the mother and child. | 125 |
| Michele Bachmann | I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States. We have to show that we are inextricably entwined, that as a nation we have been blessed because of our relationship with Israel, and if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play. | 125 |
| Alan Watts | So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself. | 126 |
| Francois de La Rochefoucauld | It is almost always a fault of one who loves not to realize when he ceases to be loved. | 126 |
| Norman Vincent Peale | It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship. | 126 |
| Joyce Meyer | When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him. | 126 |
| Rainer Maria Rilke | A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship. | 126 |
| DMX | My relationship with God has gotten so much stronger. He's always had his hand on me. He always guided me. I didn't always go where he wanted me to go. But He always had me. Now that I'm actually listening and being obedient, life is so much better. | 126 |
| Helen Mirren | Humor in a relationship is so important. Many women will say that. Some say, 'If they can make you laugh, it's the sexiest thing on earth.' | 126 |
| Spike Lee | I think that anyone who lives in New York, who's lived here, who's spent any time here, knows that it's basically a love-hate relationship, you might say. Even though I still think it's the greatest city in the world and I wouldn't live anywhere else, there're still things about it one doesn't like. The love far outweighs the negative. | 126 |
| Margaret Chan | What amazes me most is that the media and I have fostered a close relationship. | 126 |
| David Attenborough | The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what's it all about. | 201 |
| Eminem | Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business. | 201 |
| Adam Levine | I don't think any relationship responds well to pressure. | 201 |
| Marjane Satrapi | Anything that has a relationship with pleasure, we reject it. Eating, they talk about cholesterol; making love, they talk about AIDS; you talk about smoking, they talk about cancer. It's a very sick society that rejects pleasure. | 201 |
| Nick Vujicic | The greatest news that I could ever say is that Jesus is Lord and Savior of my life. He is my friend. He is with me wherever I go. I'm so delighted to continue to grow in my relationship to Jesus. | 201 |
| Quentin Crisp | The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster. | 201 |
| Rita Rudner | I love to shop after a bad relationship. I don't know. I buy a new outfit and it makes me feel better. It just does. Sometimes I see a really great outfit, I'll break up with someone on purpose. | 201 |
| Robert Downey, Jr. | I'm in a happy relationship, me and my ex are on really good terms, my kid and I are in a good spot. | 201 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | I'm not into 'Let's go out with one guy on a Monday and another guy on a Wednesday' - that's just not me. I'm a relationship kind of girl. I like a twosome. Some people get excited about being single. I don't. | 201 |
| Drake | A relationship can give you a gut wrenching feeling sometimes. It's a real emotional ride. | 202 |
| Adam Levine | A lot of my emotional issues come from dealing with the opposite sex. I've come to terms with the fact that I'll be retired before I can finally enter into a healthy relationship. | 202 |
| Anne Morrow Lindbergh | Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid; each cycle of a relationship is valid. | 202 |
| Bill Murray | When I work, my first relationship with people is professional. | 202 |
| Chris Pine | Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up. | 202 |
| Diane Ackerman | As the most social apes, we inhabit a mirror-world in which every important relationship, whether with spouse, friend or child, shapes the brain, which in turn shapes our relationships. | 202 |
| Megan Fox | When you think about it, we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross. | 202 |
| Mindy Kaling | Not to be weird, but I still have an ongoing relationship with my mom, even though she passed away, and I've been surprised at how much I've been able to convey to her. Now I sound like a total weirdo, but that's true. | 202 |
| Rebecca MacKinnon | Like it or not, Google and the Chinese government are stuck in a tense, long-term relationship, and can look forward to more high-stakes shadow-boxing in the netherworld of the world's most elaborate system of censorship. | 202 |
| Keith Richards | And it was a very, very fruitful and great relationship between the Stones and The Beatles. It was very, very friendly. | 203 |
| Steve Harvey | I think there are so many books out there written on relationships and romance that women are the authors of. How can women know exactly how men think? And there are so many guys out there with relationship books who are just not telling the truth. They have shaded parts. | 203 |
| Alfred Adler | The test of one's behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex. | 203 |
| Lenny Kravitz | We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this. | 203 |
| Steve Carell | My parents had a certain resolve to them that I don't see as so prevalent today. Through good times and bad, they were committed to one another. Their relationship wasn't something to be constantly examined or picked apart. | 203 |
| John le Carre | Until we have a better relationship between private performance and the public truth, as was demonstrated with Watergate, we as the public are absolutely right to remain suspicious, contemptuous even, of the secrecy and the misinformation which is the digest of our news. | 203 |
| Mother Teresa | If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. | 204 |
| Bjork | Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it's always going to be there. I have a very happy, healthy relationship with the country, so it's really easy to go everywhere because I always have Iceland to go back to. | 204 |
| Franklin D. Roosevelt | If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace. | 204 |
| H. Jackson Brown, Jr. | Remember that no relationship is a total waste of time. You can always learn something about yourself. | 204 |
| Vera Wang | There was no relationship between a wedding dress and fashion. There was no good taste, either. I realized that I could make an impression in terms of changing and readdressing the whole industry of bridal. | 204 |
| J. R. R. Tolkien | It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves. Of old they spoke the languages of Men, after their own fashion, and liked and disliked much the same things as Men did. But what exactly our relationship is can no longer be discovered. | 204 |
| Robert Louis Stevenson | Absences are a good influence in love and keep it bright and delicate. | 204 |
| Jack Canfield | I used to define success as being able to produce any result you wanted, whether it was a relationship, weight-loss, being a millionaire, impacting the culture, changing society, whatever it might be - it might be homelessness, whatever - and lately, I've redefined success as 'fulfilling your soul's purpose.' | 204 |
| Jawaharlal Nehru | Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people. | 204 |
| Jennifer Lopez | I think if you're in a committed relationship, unless you have some sort of an understanding, monogamy is something that should exist. | 204 |
| Priyanka Chopra | You like someone, you court each other, you get into a relationship. You're answerable to each other. Whereas, the non-answerability of dating, my God, I don't know if I would ever be able to. | 204 |
| Yehuda Berg | In every relationship, the work is never just in the positive actions we do for each other, but in the follow up. | 204 |
| Michael Leunig | The human relationship to combustion is as mysterious as it is fraught with madness. From the candle flame to the nuclear blast, it has lit up the human imagination with fear and fascination. | 204 |
| James A. Baldwin | If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons. | 205 |
| Jiddu Krishnamurti | If we could establish a deep abiding relationship with nature, we would never kill an animal for our appetite; we would never harm, vivisect, a monkey, a dog, a guinea pig for our benefit. We would find other ways to heal our wounds, heal our bodies. | 205 |
| Steve Harvey | We all think that this relationship thing is a game out here. All I'm saying to women is, 'Okay. If it's a game, here are the rules that we play by.' | 205 |
| Ellie Goulding | Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep. | 205 |
| Kyle Chandler | My grandparents got married at a very young age, and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship. I watched them over the years and saw how they dealt with everything together, as a team. | 205 |
| Penn Jillette | But it's much more exciting to make Die Hard. One of the reasons that I think that movie is so successful is it deals with those very important blue-collar relationship themes. But it's more visually beautiful to show things blowing up. It just gives you more on the screen. | 205 |
| Jeffrey Kluger | Humans have a fraught relationship with beasts. They are our companions and our chattel, our family members and our laborers, our household pets and our household pests. We love them and cage them, admire them and abuse them. And, of course, we cook and eat them. | 205 |
| William James | Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. | 206 |
| Alicia Keys | I've stepped more into my womanhood, I'm a mother now, I'm having a beautiful relationship as a wife and as a friend. | 206 |
| Bill Parcells | I've had a long standing relationship with Gatorade, and they've been very, very good to me. And I believe in their products; I really do. | 206 |
| Khloe Kardashian | I have a really close relationship with God. I have more conversations with God, and it's very therapeutic to me. It helps me through a lot of trials and tribulations. | 206 |
| Andy Warhol | When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships. | 207 |
| Ellen DeGeneres | So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect. | 207 |
| Brigitte Bardot | Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women. | 207 |
| Christina Aguilera | It's important to take time for your spouse and nurture the relationship. | 207 |
| Honore de Balzac | The man as he converses is the lover; silent, he is the husband. | 207 |
| Nancy Reagan | It is well known that my husband and Lady Thatcher enjoyed a very special relationship as leaders of their respective countries during one of the most difficult and pivotal periods in modern history. Ronnie and Margaret were political soul mates, committed to freedom and resolved to end Communism. | 207 |
| Tullian Tchividjian | My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace. | 207 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | You are a child of the sun, you come from the sun, and that is something true with the Earth also... your relationship with the Earth is so deep, and the Earth is in you and this is something not very difficult, much less difficult then philosophy. | 208 |
| Henri Frederic Amiel | To marry unequally is to suffer equally. | 208 |
| Nick Cave | Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph. | 208 |
| Stephen Fry | I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like. | 208 |
| Mariella Frostrup | As for tweeting and texting: impassioned discussions, particularly when they're intimate, don't work in abbreviated script messages. No relationship should begin or end in 140 characters. | 208 |
| Dave Barry | Never assume that the guy understands that you and he have a relationship. | 209 |
| Benjamin Netanyahu | The relationship between Israel and the United States is a bond of - it's just a very powerful bond. It was, it is, and will be and will continue to be. | 209 |
| Douglas Coupland | Before machines the only form of entertainment people really had was relationships. | 209 |
| Ezra Taft Benson | Pride adversely affects all our relationships - our relationship with God and His servants, between husband and wife, parent and child, employer and employee, teacher and student, and all mankind. | 209 |
| Yehuda Berg | At any given moment, it's not about where we are supposed to be. It's about what work, which relationship, what decision I take. Every moment counts. Every decision counts. And if we look at our decisions in life as such, we stop battling and start winning. | 209 |
| Leo Buscaglia | Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade. | 210 |
| John Ruskin | The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do. | 210 |
| Alan Rickman | I have a love-hate relationship with white silk. | 210 |
| Charles Stanley | There is only one secure foundation: a genuine, deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around, you'll stand firm if you stand on His love. | 210 |
| David A. Bednar | Righteous marriage is a commandment and an essential step in the process of creating a loving family relationship that can be perpetuated beyond the grave. | 210 |
| James E. Faust | The depth of the love of parents for their children cannot be measured. It is like no other relationship. It exceeds concern for life itself. The love of a parent for a child is continuous and transcends heartbreak and disappointment. | 210 |
| Jill Scott | At my aunt's funeral, I promised myself that I wouldn't be bound by the belief that I'm supposed to stay in anything - whether it's a relationship, a job, a house, or a circumstance - if it makes me miserable. She gave me the courage to find my own happiness. | 210 |
| Leo Tolstoy | If so many men, so many minds, certainly so many hearts, so many kinds of love. | 211 |
| Les Brown | Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks. | 211 |
| Richard Bach | I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me. | 211 |
| Chuck Palahniuk | Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home... it's your responsibility to love it, or change it. | 211 |
| John Burroughs | Without the name, any flower is still more or less a stranger to you. The name betrays its family, its relationship to other flowers, and gives the mind something tangible to grasp. It is very difficult for persons who have had no special training to learn the names of the flowers from the botany. | 211 |
| Pink | I think you learn more about yourself in the context of a relationship than you can outside of it. | 211 |
| Rob Lowe | Every relationship has its complications. | 211 |
| Kim Kardashian | I have to be in a relationship in order to be intimate. I'm not the one-night-stand kind of girl. Despite the rumors. | 212 |
| Elizabeth Gilbert | Mine is just a simple old human story - of one person trying, with great rigor and discipline, to comprehend her personal relationship with divinity. | 212 |
| John le Carre | But I think the real tension lies in the relationship between what you might call the pursuer and his quarry, whether it's the writer or the spy. | 212 |
| Bjork | I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don't have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people. | 213 |
| Edmund Hillary | My relationship with the mountains actually started when I was 16. Every year, a group used to be taken from Auckland Grammar down to the Tangariro National Park for a skiing holiday. | 213 |
| Rita Rudner | My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We can't decide whether to ruin our carpet or ruin our lives. | 213 |
| Steve Jobs | If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. | 215 |
| Christopher Hitchens | I'm afraid the SS's relationship with the Catholic Church is something the Church still has to deal with and does not deny. | 215 |
| Larry David | Every relationship is just so tenuous and precarious. | 215 |
| Carrie Underwood | After I released 'Jesus, Take the Wheel,' people started saying, Oh, it's kind of risky. You're coming out with a religious song. And I was thinking, Really? I grew up in Oklahoma; I always had a close relationship with God. I never thought it was risky in the least. If anything, I thought it was the safest thing I could do. | 216 |
| Elon Musk | I think it matters whether someone has a good heart. | 217 |
| Madonna Ciccone | I have a funny relationship with religion. I'm a big believer in ritualistic behavior as long as it doesn't hurt anybody. But I'm not a big fan of rules. And yet, we cannot live in a world without order. | 217 |
| Sandra Bullock | Y'know, every relationship is different. There are good marriages, bad marriages, connected partners, unconnected partners. | 217 |
