Lady Colin Campbell"I believe that every character is a setting, a world with moving parts, and on the other hand, every setting is, in fact, a character - a living breathing thing with personality and backstory.

Nia Jax"Whenever I am faced with someone spreading negativity in my relationship, I remember the old saying, 'Misery loves company.' I am also reminded to be mindful of the company you keep. Sometimes you cannot see a hater until you are happy. It is then that they demonstrate their negativity."

Kimberle Williams Crenshaw"What we need to understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and expectations others put on us that we don't want to fulfill, then they lose real meaning and steal the joy from our lives.

Dabo Swinney"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."
Rachel Kushner"Every garden scheme should have a backbone, a central idea beautifully phrased. Every wall, path, stone and flower should have its relationship to the central idea."
Edwin Lutyens"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."
Mario Andretti"Take information technology. We have winners implementing CRM (customer relationship management systems) and losers implementing CRM. What mattered in technology is that the technology actually drives either cost reduction or superior strategy execution."
Tahl Raz"I think live-in relationship works for a few people, and it doesn't for others. I have never done it, so I can't speak about the pros and cons. I don't know if that will work for me or not, but I am definitely not close to the idea. For an arrangement like that to succeed, one needs to have the right feeling for the right person."

Emil Ludwig"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."

Robert Crais"My accent does slip. When I arrived in England in 1978 at 18, I was shocked to find myself 'the American' at RADA. The English and the Americans have an intense relationship. They helped us out in the Second World War."
Mark Rylance"If you love someone - like, truly love someone - I don't think that ever goes away. But what does change is your perspective on the relationship and the dynamic."

James McAvoy"A strong working relationship requires every participant to be on the same page."
Dinesh Paliwal"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."

Jason Mraz"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."
Randeep Hooda"Laughter is an important part of a good relationship.

And often that means having a little bit of a sense of humour about their flaws."
Alain de Botton"I think for any relationship to be successful, there needs to be loving communication, appreciation, and understanding."

Leo Buscaglia"My sister is raised to know her value and to know that she stands behind no man. You know, when she gets a husband, you stand side by side, equal partnership.

Aron Ralston"You have a strange relationship with calamity when you're a writer: you write about it; as an artist, you objectify and fetishize it. You render life into material, and that's a creepy thing to do."
Tony Kushner"My brother and I have too good a relationship to spoil it by working together."
Trevor Phillips"The doctor-patient relationship is critical to the placebo effect."
Irving Kirsch"I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes, and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn't really about loving cars. It's sort of about needing them."
Matthew Barney"Never too late to change your relationship with somebody in your life."
Anderson Cooper"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."

Steven Curtis Chapman"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."
Piet Mondrian"Everybody wants instant gratification for everything. It's all got to be like fast food. You want a hamburger now, you get it now. Hey, even when McDonald's started out, it took them a couple of minutes to make your burger and get it to you. Now, it's all wham, bam. That's tough enough on a burger. It's impossible with a relationship."
Frankie Avalon"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."
T. B. Joshua"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."
Valentino Rossi"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."
Patti Stanger"Having sisters is the best. I have a different relationship with each of them. I go to Kim for fashion advice, Khloe is always boy and family advice, and Kourtney is like another mother to me."
Kylie Jenner"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."
Milton Glaser"The father-son relationship is the strongest there is. It's been the basis of drama all the way back to the Bible. Notice, Abraham wasn't told to sacrifice a daughter."

Henri Frederic Amiel"A grandchild is a miracle, but a renewed relationship with your own children is even a greater one."
T. Berry Brazelton"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."
Alison Sweeney"I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?"
Zsa Zsa Gabor"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."
Anne Morrow Lindbergh"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."
Jeff Bridges"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."
Smokey Robinson"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."
Helen Fisher"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."

Steven Moffat"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.'"
Helen Mirren"I think that the United States and the Philippines have always had a good relationship with each other.

And I don't see any problem with that at all."
Pia Wurtzbach"It takes two to make a relationship, but only one to screw it up."

Francesca Annis"Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship."
Margaret Mead"Fame does lead to money, which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it, I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it, because I grew up without it."
David Duchovny"My father and I have a very good relationship. We always got along. But I always scold him."
Amy Sedaris"I met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his.

Leo Tolstoy"The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one."
Joan Baez"The man as he converses is the lover; silent, he is the husband."
Honore de Balzac"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."
Morley"I've never lived anywhere else in my life, I have a massive love-hate relationship with this city. I grew up in the western suburbs in the '80s and for everything we had to go to south Bombay - so you lived the whole city, in a sense."
Vikramaditya Motwane"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."
Joyce Banda"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."
Ben Affleck"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."

Malcolm Boyd"The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God."
Manny Pacquiao"What is real is that adultery destroys tens of thousands of families every year across America.

What is real is that adultery is an open wound in a relationship which more often than not overflows into domestic violence or worse."
Mike Pence"Remember: You are the common denominator in all your relationship problems. Wherever you go, your pesky repeated issues go - until you shed a blazing light of insight upon them."
Karen Salmansohn"God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God."

John Henrik Clarke"I think that there is always a part of utopia in any romantic relationship."
Pedro Almodovar"Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from a relationship with the Lord."
Paul Henderson"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."
Josh Turner"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."
Donald Glover"We want to have a relationship with technology that gives us back choice about how we spend time with it, and we're going to need help from designers, because knowing this stuff doesn't help. We're going to need design help."
Tristan Harris"It's better to have loved and lost than to have to do forty pounds of laundry a week."

Dorothy Day"Having a two-year-old is very hard. I feel like I'm in a relationship with an emotionally unstable woman who is also physically abusive and never gets in trouble for it."
Ali Wong"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."
Kyle MacLachlan"Don't wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success."

Yehuda Berg"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."
Big Sean"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."
Jiddu Krishnamurti"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."
Quentin Crisp"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."

Ryan Reynolds"I think the relationship of indigenous people to their environment... that those were ethical omnivores."
James Cromwell"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."
James E. Faust"I wasn't really too hyped on religion. I don't really believe in a religion like that. I just believe that there is a God. There's just somebody up there that listens to me, and they can show me better if I talk to them and build a relationship with them."
NLE Choppa"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."

Brian France"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."
Kris Carr"It's easy to talk about how great love is or how you feel heartbroken after a breakup, but it's not as easy to talk about the process of going through the end of a relationship."
Eric Nam"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."
Amin Maalouf"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.

Tori Amos"In a relationship you want to treat people the way you want to be treated."
Bradley Cooper"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."
Srikumar Rao"Being a woman, we talk about equal pay all the time. We're not talking about if you're black or if you are Latina.

I don't know exactly all the right things to say, but I want to engage in that conversation."
Megan Rapinoe"For 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona,' for example, Woody Allen is one of the greatest American directors, and we really had a very good working relationship. We understand each other really well. He gave me one of the best opportunities somebody has ever given me in my career."
Penelope Cruz"My husband. He keeps me grounded. If I were in the world on my own, it would all be much more seductive. But I'm in a relationship that has nothing to do with the film world."
Emily Watson"If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it."
Regina Brett"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."
Kevin Rudd"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."
Nick Cannon"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."
Jose Carreras"It's not just the number of friends you have, and it's not whether or not you're in a committed relationship. It's the quality of your close relationships that matters."
Robert J. Waldinger"But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power."
James Baldwin"I think it's also important for people to really see that your identity doesn't come just from what you do but who you are.

Thich Nhat Hanh"Ears are made not for hearing but for listening. Listening is an active skill, whereas hearing is passive. Listening is something that we have to work at - it's a relationship with sound. And yet, it's a skill that none of us are taught."
Julian Treasure"The future of design is a future where anything material in the environment - whether it's wearables, cars, buildings - can be designed with this variation of properties and relationship with the environment that can take part in the natural ecology."
Neri Oxman"I have a healthy relationship with food. My problem is, as a comic, I eat dinner late. But I'll have a smoothie for breakfast every morning, and I keep it pretty low-carb and healthy during the day. At night, I'll have a basic protein, quinoa, and vegetables."
Amy Schumer"Blockchain is really exciting technology because it's actually providing both transparency but also agility in a contractual relationship that any organization should have. -Jean"
Philippe Courtois"I believe it matters how you treat people. I believe in Heaven. I don't believe that this is it, and then we're done.

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

Dave Matthews"What's beautiful about the journey of surrogacy is that relationship you build with your surrogate, when it's done in places with good law. These aren't women you stop speaking to once your child is born, this is someone who's part of your family."
Dustin Lance Black"A band is like a marriage, and if you're in a marriage with someone, and you lose yourself in that marriage, the relationship is over, really."
Richie Sambora"I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does."
Grace Kelly"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."

Edwin Louis Cole"In a relationship you have to open yourself up."
Neil LaBute"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."

Toni Collette"There is not love where there is no will."
Indira Gandhi"The true test of a relationship is traveling together."
Julia Stiles"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."
Adrian Lyne"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."
Ronan Farrow"I think one's relationship with one's vulnerability is a very delicate and precious relationship. Most people try to hide, disguise that vulnerability, and in doing that, you, I think, diminish a great source of power."
Philip Schultz"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."
J. C. Watts"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."
John Burroughs"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."
Jennifer Love Hewitt"The relationship between parents and children, but especially between mothers and daughters, is tremendously powerful, scarcely to be comprehended in any rational way."
Joyce Carol Oates"We live in such hypersexualised yet totally prudish times. People have this expectation about everyone else's relationship to their own bodies.'Surely you must have shame about your body? Surely what's scariest for you as actor would be to stand in a room naked?' Believe me, I've been in so many more terrifying situations as a performer than that."
Katherine Waterston"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."
Anton Yelchin"My parents had us in church every Sunday, every Wednesday. It was more of a tradition at that point; I didn't have a personal relationship with the Lord until I went to the altar call one Sunday, and the youth pastor told us to make a decision for ourselves."
Stephen Curry"Like most people, I have this sort of love-hate relationship with Pittsburgh. This is my home, and at times I miss it and find it tremendously exciting, and other times I want to catch the first thing out that has wheels."
August Wilson"You can't be afraid to be honest and to be yourself. We all have imperfections and fall short at some point. Showing your human side creates a sensitivity, openness and trust. That's the beginning of the demise in a relationship - not being honest and not being you."
BJ the Chicago Kid"My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave."
Arnold Schwarzenegger"My relationship to plants becomes closer and closer. They make me quiet; I like to be in their company."
Peter Zumthor"You can educate yourself right out of a relationship with God."
Tammy Faye Bakker"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."

Steve Earle"I am always interested in that relationship between outer reality and inner desire, and I think it is important to pay attention to the inner voice because it is the only way to discover your mission in life and the only way to develop the strength to break with whatever familial or cultural norms are preventing you from fulfilling your destiny."
Laura Esquivel"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."

Andrew Yang"That common cold of the male psyche, fear of commitment."
Richard Schickel"It is almost always a fault of one who loves not to realize when he ceases to be loved."
Francois de La Rochefoucauld"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."
Kristin Davis"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."
Nick Cannon"Sex is... perfectly natural. It's something that's pleasurable. It's enjoyable and it enhances a relationship. So why don't we learn as much as we can about it and become comfortable with ourselves as sexual human beings because we are all sexual?"
Sue Johanson"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."
Jasmine Guy"I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck."
Anjelica Huston"I think it's healthy for couples to be away from each other for short periods."
Liv Tyler"No one can live without relationship. You may withdraw into the mountains, become a monk, a sannyasi, wander off into the desert by yourself, but you are related. You cannot escape from that absolute fact. You cannot exist in isolation."
Jiddu Krishnamurti"I can't deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. It's a conscious thing; it's a common-sense thing."
Taylor Swift"My sister is a lesbian and I want her to have that same feeling. A civil partnership is not the same as marriage. She's in a serious relationship with a girl I am obsessed with. I would love her to marry her girlfriend because I love her so much."
Vogue Williams"I have a love / hate relationship with the city of New Orleans, which is the strongest kind of relationship."
Nicolas Cage"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."
Brian Eno"One of the things I have always said about the man-woman relationship is that I don't want anybody to walk ahead of me, and I don't want anybody to walk behind me. I want a man who will walk along beside me. And that's how I feel about equal rights."
Cicely Tyson"Liberalism is a really old British tradition and it has a completely different attitude towards the individual and the relationship between the individual and the state than the collectivist response of Labour, and particularly Old Labour, does."
Nick Clegg"I had a very unhealthy relationship with food that turned into bulimia."
Candace Cameron Bure"It's like a garden: Whatever you water the most will do the best. At some point, you decide whether you'll water your career or your relationship more."
Jewel"When people hold you in high esteem, it's very delicate relationship. When they meet you they're putting all their chips up. It's make or break."
Henry Rollins"You're born single, you die single, but why not being in a relationship is some special 'single' status, I don't understand. Life is less stress being single, I have to admit."
Bipasha Basu"I don't believe in casual dating; I would rather be in a proper relationship."
Vaani Kapoor"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."
Sara Zarr"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."
Kelly Rowland"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."
Novak Djokovic"I'll only move in with my husband. There's no question of a live-in relationship."
Deepika Padukone"Having to think so much about fictitious relationships that work or don't work, and with each relationship between characters managing to do one or other of those in its own peculiar way, I spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, real and imagined."
Nick Earls"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."
Jennifer Lopez"Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship."
Buddha"The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world."
Toni Collette"What if every relationship you've ever been in, is someone slowly figuring out they didn't like you as much as they hoped they would?"
James Acaster"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."
W. H. Auden"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."
Barbara De Angelis"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."
Mother Teresa"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.'"
Michael Ian Black"People put so much effort into starting a relationship and so little effort into ending one."
Marina Abramovic"I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness."
Keanu Reeves"I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine."
Giancarlo Esposito"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."
Yuvraj Singh"The dynamic of a relationship changes when one person gets sober."
Trent Reznor"I grew up with a pet iguana named Willy. We had a very contentious relationship. It turns out that iguanas are not meant to live in suburban homes."
Kate McKinnon"I have an incredible relationship with dogs. I'm kind of a dog-whisperer."
Mary Ellen Mark"The question of a valid parental-child relationship is at the center of how the Department of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services handle detainment. Because of fraudulent documentation, profits to smugglers, and false asylum claims, there is essentially no way to prove or verify adults traveling with children are indeed their parents."
Katie Pavlich"The relationship between WordPress and Tumblr has always been pretty friendly: Tumblr's own blog used to be on WP, WordPress.com supports Tumblr as a Publicize option alongside Twitter and Facebook, our Akismet team sends them daily emails of splogs on the service, and there's healthy import and export traffic both ways."
Matt Mullenweg"I have no plans to go public if I get into a relationship. I will do my best to safeguard the privacy of the person I love and respect her feelings. -Song Joong"
ki"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."
Alan Watts"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."
Kim Kardashian"By itself, love is never enough to sustain a relationship."
Mark Manson"The DJ still has the relationship with the people, I believe. I don't know to call the DJ 'the ambassadors' or what, but we still are connecting the dots, getting the good stuff and passing it on to the people. DJs still have relevance, even with the technology that elevates the DJ beyond being a selector."
Ali Shaheed Muhammad"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."
Jennifer Aniston"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."
Randeep Hooda"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."
Amy Adams"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?"
Shailene Woodley"Obviously, a long-distance relationship is hard. But, like anything worth having, you make it work."
Leona Lewis"I am not gay; I don't have a relationship with Ricky Martin."
Maluma"I am single and not looking to be in a relationship."
Chris Evans"Never assume that the guy understands that you and he have a relationship."
Dave Barry"To me, the ideal artist-to-audience relationship is a one-to-zero relationship. The artist should be granted anonymity."
Glenn Gould"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."
Clarissa Pinkola Estes"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."
Bono"The biggest mistake is believing there is one right way to listen, to talk, to have a conversation - or a relationship."
Deborah Tannen"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."
Jawaharlal Nehru"I have a great relationship with animals, and with children. I get to their level. I try to see the way a child looks at the world, it's hugely different."
Story Musgrave"I get a lot of comments from people that I'm just an ordinary bloke. They immediately feel they have a closer relationship with you; they relate to you."
Gerry Harvey"Truth, according to the Christian faith, is God's love for us in Jesus Christ. Therefore, truth is a relationship."
Pope Francis"What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me."
Rick Warren"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."
Rollo May"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."
Amy Grant"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."
A. Philip Randolph"The man is meant to be the alpha in the relationship on the money and power front."
Jamie Dornan"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."
Michael Leunig"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."
Travis Bradberry"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.'"
Prince William"Species co-evolve with the other species they eat, and very often, a relationship of interdependence develops: I'll feed you if you spread around my genes. A gradual process of mutual adaptation transforms something like an apple or a squash into a nutritious and tasty food for a hungry animal."
Michael Pollan"I'm more of an adventurous type than a relationship type."
Bob Dylan"I know that life is really finding the right relationship between yourself and God."
Tom Landry"The notion that gaming was not for women rippled out into society, until we heard it not just from the games industry, but from our families, teachers and friends. As a consequence, I, like many women, had a complicated, love-hate relationship with gaming culture."
Anita Sarkeesian"I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work."
Candace Cameron Bure"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."
Wangari Maathai"Real and true happiness is having a relationship with God and not what makes us happy."
Mike Fisher"Spirituality is not a formula; it is not a test. It is a relationship. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spirituality is not about perfection; it is about connection. The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives."
Mike Yaconelli"There's book smart, there is street smart, there's relationship smart, there's too many different kinds of smarts to know all of them. Everybody doesn't know every kind of smart. There's money smart, there's movie smart, there's computer smart. There's just too many different kinds of smarts for people to know all the smarts."
J. B. Smoove"I'm afraid the SS's relationship with the Catholic Church is something the Church still has to deal with and does not deny."
Christopher Hitchens"You have to support your children to have a healthy relationship."
Connie Sellecca"Let's face it: your average straight, cis-gender teenage boy isn't going to pursue a relationship with a trans-girl."
Jazz Jennings"We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life."
David Elliott"India and Japan should develop a complementary relationship in information technology."
Yoshiro Mori"Every new conversation, every new relationship, brings new challenges and opportunities for honest expression."
Mark Manson"I had a very, very difficult relationship with my mother, who was supremely self-centred. She was hilariously self-centred. She did not really take interest in anything that didn't immediately affect her."
John Cleese"There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship, and I thought that was the most important thing."
Kim Kardashian"My mum wants me to get married - and have children, of course. She's met Gaga; we've been dating a while. We're in a committed relationship, and I'm really happy in my relationship. I'm a very lucky guy. As far as having more of a domestic life and settling down into my relationship, we have to see what happens."
Taylor Kinney"'Love, Death and the Changing of the Seasons' is a kind of novel in verse about the arc of an urban lesbian love affair - and I suppose there is a certain amount of voyeurism in the consumption of fiction! The 'Sancerre' poems here are more contemplative and about the relationship of the individual to local and wider histories."
Marilyn Hacker"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."
Diane von Furstenberg"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."
Michael Jordan"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."
Bruce Bueno de Mesquita"You can't change anyone else, but people do change in relationship to your change."
Jack Canfield"I had a brilliant relationship with Thomas Tuchel. We spoke a lot, not only on the surface, but really deep about football and our work."
Daniel Farke"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."
Ellen Goodman"No gentleman ever discusses any relationship with a lady."
Keith Miller"Life is relationship, living is relationship. We cannot live if you and I have built a wall around ourselves and just peep over that wall occasionally. Unconsciously, deeply, under the wall, we are related."
Jiddu Krishnamurti"The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings."
Martin Scorsese"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."
Rick Moranis"I don't know how to have a normal relationship because I try to act normal and love from a normal place and live a normal life, but there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lens, on everything that happens."
Taylor Swift"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."
Ann Oakley"We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture."
Alice Waters"Great salespeople are relationship builders who provide value and help their customers win."
Jeffrey Gitomer"I've always had a great relationship with my mother, and with both of my parents. We can sit down and talk about things, and even if we do argue, we can get over it and get past it."
Dylan Everett"To understand how any society functions you must understand the relationship between the men and the women."
Angela Davis"Anything that you do in life, whether it's work or a relationship or marriage, you get into it with a lot of positivity."
Nayanthara"You can get an idea of human nature only when you can see the relationship of the individual human being to the whole cosmos."
Rudolf Steiner"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."
Jiddu Krishnamurti"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."
Abdolkarim Soroush"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."
Orlando Bloom"I also personally think - as do many others - that a shift on consciousness is needed toward one where we understand that we are in a relationship with the earth and all living beings, that we have agency. That life is worth fighting for."
Gail Bradbrook"The relationship with a snake is not like what we have with dogs, like how we can sort of cuddle a dog."
Danny Green"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."
Harold S. Geneen"I have a love/hate relationship with jogging."
Lisa Lutz"For me, every photograph is a portrait; the clothes are just a vehicle for what I want to say. You're photographing a relationship with the person you're shooting; there's an exchange, and that's what that picture is."
Peter Lindbergh"To many American Jews, it is a truism that Barack Obama was the anti-Israel president. It was Mr. Obama who signed the Iran deal, which Israel portrayed as a mortal danger. It was Mr. Obama whose most contentious relationship with a foreign leader was with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
Bari Weiss"I don't really know how to relate to a long-term day-in day-out kind of comfortable relationship."
Diane Lane"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."
Hunter Hayes"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."
Taylor Swift"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."
Michelangelo Antonioni"If you play a real character who's famous and still alive, it makes things easier if you have the luck to have a good relationship with them."
Daniel Bruhl"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."
Vivek Wadhwa"Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone."
Harold Ramis"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."
Anita Sarkeesian"I have, obviously, a very complex relationship with the more industrial side of filmmaking and the machinery that can take an actor or an actress and create something so bamboozling and monumental and fathomless in terms of publicity hits."
Debra Granik"Social media forces girls to bear witness to painful realities of relationship that were previously hidden from view. It is a new kind of TMI, or 'too much information': publicly posted photographs of an outing or party you did not attend, or a personal web page like Formspring, can send a girl into paroxysms of anxiety and grief."
Rachel Simmons"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?"
Carl Rogers"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."
Godfrey Reggio"In the startup work environment, you get to have a relationship with your boss, the investors, and the key members of the team. Startups are like families - you see the good, the bad and the ugly, but in the end, you've got each other's back."
Clay Clark"There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage."
Martin Luther"Starbucks has a role and a meaningful relationship with people that is not only about the coffee."
Howard Schultz"I think people have this love-hate relationship with tennis. I also feel like that."
Garbine Muguruza"In college, I joined a team Bible study. God's Word brought me peace and a desire for a relationship with Him."
Clint Dempsey"I have a love-hate relationship with working out. I do not enjoy the experience when I'm doing it, but I never regret it. -Yahya Abdul"
Mateen II"On a level of simple personal survival, understanding and forgiveness are crucial... whether in an intimate personal relationship or on a global level."
Edward Albert"My grandfather was doing business with a Japanese man. In exchange of good relationship the man taught my uncles the art of jiu jitsu. My father couldn't do it because he was very weak, he couldn't do one press-up, so he just sat back and watched, and memorised. What he did was add leverage into the moves."
Royce Gracie"Puerto Rico's relationship with music is everything. It's an island full of talent and if you grow up there, you grow up living and breathing music."
Bad Bunny"Every lesson man, every, every relationship, every experience is a blessing. You learn from it, whether good or bad."
August Alsina"I have a relationship with God. I do believe in God, The Son, and Holy Ghost. But I respect everybody, and as far as the Muslims go, I like how they live because they have discipline. They have real structure and I like."
Tee Grizzley"You've got to be in a bad relationship to really understand what a great one is."
Steve Harvey"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."
Bipasha Basu"We are looking at how you change the relationship between central and local government and how to use public resources to the best effect at the local level."

Michael Pollan"My dad taught me true words you have to use in every relationship. Yes, baby."
Star Jones"No one can tell you what to expect or can offer a guide to grief. Because every relationship is so unique, no two people grieve the same way. And you have no idea how you are going to grieve till you are grieving."
Alysia Reiner"Both spiritual companionship and spiritual motherliness are not limited to the physical wife and mother relationship, but they extend to all people with whom woman comes into contact."
Edith Stein"Butch Vig was a true friend and really guided us, and it was such a fulfilling relationship with a person to make records with."
Laura Jane Grace
