Sometimes we can focus so much on nothing that we make it a big something of nothing
- Ricky Maye
An Emerging Spirituality
Adversity is a mirage. People, situations, and relationships sometimes change for the worst but inevitably clear a path for far better replacements. The continued journey will always find bliss.
- Carl Henegan
I had a dream about you. You were wearing Sylvester Stallone's sneer as pants, but his lips were saggy on your legs, so you had to wear a mustache as a belt.

- Dora J. Arod
I Had a Dream About You
Could it possibly be that he yearned for some of the same things she yearned for? Love. Someone to call your own. Someone to share the joys and the sorrows of life.
- Dorothy Garlock
Sins of Summer
I had a dream about you. You looked like you, but you also looked like a mannequin. And I looked like me, but I also looked like a mannequin. Between the two of us, we were too fake even for Hollywood. And as such, we were forced to reside in Washington DC.

I Had a Dream About You
A relationship could be a place to hide too.
- Deb Caletti
The Story of Us
I wouldn't have cared if my girlfriend was a Jaguar-driving Cyclops with a beard - I'd have been grateful just to have someone to make out with.
- John Green
Looking for Alaska
We've come a long way from the time when the crowning achievement in a woman's life was her youthful marriage. And many would agree that this represents progress for women. But when did the search for someone to marry become self-absorbed and pathetic? This absence of social sympathy for women's ambitions to marry is all the more striking because the social world has cared so deeply about virtually every other aspect of these privileged young women's inner and outer lives. (...) The achievement of a good marriage is the one area of life where the most privileged, accomplished, and high achieving young women in society face a loss of support and sympathy for their ambitions and where the social expectations are for disappointment and failure, not success.
- Barbara Dafoe Whitehead
Why There Are No Good Men Left: The Romantic Plight of the New Single Woman
We men are fascinated by the things we don't really understand. It gives us something to think and talk about: like females, they drive us nuts.
- Criss Jami
Killosophy
You can know a thing to death and be for all purposes completely ignorant of it. A man can know his father, or his son, and there might still be nothing between them but loyalty and love and mutual incomprehension.
The heart of a person only beats when it's surrounded by blood, by family.
- Erica Goros
The Daisy Chain
I am sorry the only outlet for her troubled mind was in clumsy foreplay with an inadequate partner."

He threw the rest of her sandwich at the swinging door as she passed through it.
- Jennifer Armintrout
Ashes to Ashes
In Jung’s view, “the mass State”—his term for government and its structures—has “no intention of promoting mutual understanding and the relationship of man to man; it strives, rather, for atomization, for the psychic isolation of the individual.” Jung asserts that when we come to perceive “the other” as someone to be feared and shunned, we risk the inner cohesion of our society, allowing our personal relationships to become undermined by a creeping mistrust. By walling ourselves off from a perceived other, we “flatter the primitive tendency in us to shut our eyes to evil and drive it over some frontier or other, like the Old Testament scapegoat, which was supposed to carry the evil into the wilderness.
- Francisco Cantú
The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches From the Border
We are aware that blaming and arguing can never help us and only create a wider gap between us; that only understanding, trust, and love can help us change and grow
- Thich Nhat Hanh
Fidelity: How to Create a Loving Relationship That Lasts
...it is not always possible to restore one’s boundaries after they have been blurred and made permeable by a relationship: try as we might, we cannot reconstitute ourselves as the autonomous beings we previously imagined ourselves to be. Something of us is now outside, and something of the outside is now within us.
- Mohsin Hamid
The Reluctant Fundamentalist
My need to show what I can do is keeping me from finding out what other people can do and what we can do together.
- Kate Murphy
He was a late night
shot of bourbon
the taste of him
left me burning
with mouth on fire
body full of desire.
- Melody Lee
Moon Gypsy
Linger a little longer on my lips love, let me drink you all in.
- Melody Lee
Moon Gypsy
We have already said more goodbyes than are necessary. Those were goodbyes that brought about the end of partings. We taught each other that no parting is possible.
- Donna Goddard
Waldmeer
More than nakedness,
for there is no cover to take.
The fire in your eyes
is ringed with water; wide and cool.
We are far from the brutal place,
but you do not think so.
You take my hand
and disappear like you were never there,
except that I am now somewhere else.
- Donna Goddard
Love's Longing
Cultivating loving kindness for ourselves is the foundation of real love for our friends and family, for new people we encounter in our daily lives, for all beings and for life itself.
- Sharon Salzberg
Real Love: The Art of Mindful Connection
She's the kind of girl who brings you to the moon without you even being aware. The kind of girl you trip on love with. The kind of girl you never forget.
- Melody Lee
Moon Gypsy
All men are born firstly with the instinct to protect themselves. But few grow to really love themselves, and even fewer learn to love their neighbor as themselves.
- Criss Jami
Killosophy
Sometimes we place faith in the wrong people for the right reasons. We're too blind to their faults, and they're too blind to appreciate us.
