I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you.

Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.

Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.

House guests should be regarded as perishables: Leave them out too long and they go bad.

You can’t buy love, but you can pay heavily for it.

I’ve… been accused of being involved with every man I’m ever seen with or worked with. Maybe I have, maybe I ain’t. I never tell if I have.

It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won’t save us any more than love did.

We want our marriage to be a triumph, not a tragedy.

A lot of Jews are great friends of mine.

‚Tis love that makes the world go round, my baby.

Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

There’s only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I’ll get married again.

Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face.

Wisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.

No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you’re supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

I guess I have always been deeply terrified to really be someone’s wife since I know from life one cannot love another, ever, really.

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

Love is about mutual respect, apart from attraction.

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.

My problem was my inability to spend much time at home. I thought my family was secure, so I went running around everyplace else. I guess I had more of an effect on other people’s kids than I did my own.

I desire no future that will break the ties with the past.

I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me.

This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.

I let the dog out, or I let him in, and we talk some. I let him know I like him, and he lets me know he likes me.

If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.

Life’s too short to hang out with people who aren’t resourceful.

There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.

Maids want nothing but husbands, and when they have them, they want everything.

I’ve missed out on a lot of things, going out with friends.

I’ve had moments when I’ve thought about somebody, picked up the phone to call them and they are on the line already, and I think that maybe there’s some vibration, some connection.

I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.

It’s annoying, but justice and equality are mates. Aren’t they? Justice always wants to hang out with equality. And equality is a real pain.

As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.

Remember that creating a successful marriage is like farming: you have to start over again every morning.

I had no bad moment in my relationship with Dortmund. Not one second.

When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?

I don’t like cream puff, corny guys. Usually, they are the nice guys, the ones that won’t hurt you. They’ll pull out the chair for you and the whole nine yards. Everything is perfect and boring.

I don’t hate women – they just sometimes make me mad.

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.

There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.

He who hath many friends hath none.

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.

My husband says I look like a Q-tip.

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

He knows my limitations and where I’m a good wife and a good mom.

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

Every man’s reputation proceeds from those of his own household.

My wife and I love each other very much.

Great loves too must be endured.

Crankiness is at the essence of all comedy. My wife and I were discussing the different types of cranky. There’s entertaining cranky, annoying cranky, angry cranky.

If I think too hard about a relationship, I’ll talk myself out of it.

I never had a mother. I suppose a mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.
