Sometimes the best way to say something is the way someone more literary than you has said it. In that vein, here are some relationship quotes of note:
“Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.”
“Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”
“Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same.” -Flavia Weedn
“The act of forgiveness is the act of returning to present time. And that’s why when one has become a forgiving person, and has managed to let go of the past, what they’ve really done is they’ve shifted their relationship with time.”
“Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”
“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships – the ones that last – are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with”
“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.”
~ Aristotle
“The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.”
~ Helen Keller
“Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl – no superior alternative has yet been found.”
~ Winston Churchill
“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.”
~ Kahlin Gibran
“To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.”
“Man is a knot into which relationships are tied.”
“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 it’s good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete.”
“Our greatest joy-and our greatest pain comes in our relationships with others.”
“Love doesn’t just sit there like a stone; it has to be made – like bread, remade all the time, made new.”
“Once the trust goes out of a relationship, it’s really no fun lying to ‘em anymore.”
~ Norm from Cheers
