Put a love note in his shaving kit before he leaves on a business trip.

Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.

Naturally, there are times when every woman likes to be flattered… to feel she is the most important thing in someone’s world. Only a man can paint this picture.

I don’t have to ‚freedom-kiss‘ my wife when what I really want to do is French-kiss her.

I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.

I’m 31 now. I think I’m beginning to understand what life is, what romance is, and what a relationship means.

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.

I’ve always wanted male friends that I could be real intimate with and talk about important things with and be as affectionate with that person as I would be with a girl.

Being a good husband is like being a good stand-up comic – you need ten years before you can even call yourself a beginner.

God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.

I want to marry Arline because I love her – which means I want to take care of her. That is all there is to it. I want to take care of her. I am anxious for the responsibilities and uncertainties of taking care of the girl I love.

I haven’t had that one great love, which is good. I don’t want that to be in the past – I want it to be in the future.

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.

A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.

Brad was a huge surprise to me. I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t. I was quite content to be a single mom with Mad.

I just have a relationship with my imagination. It’s like my friend, almost.

May I kiss you then? On this miserable paper? I might as well open the window and kiss the night air.

There is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.

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.

In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up.

On one of my last days at school, the headmaster said I would either end up in prison or become a millionaire. That was quite a startling prediction, but in some respects, he was right on both counts!

There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.

Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.

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.

Little Red Riding Hood was my first love. I felt that if I could have married Little Red Riding Hood, I should have known perfect bliss.

Among the letters my readers write me, there is a certain category which is continuously growing, and which I see as a symptom of the increasing intellectualization of the relationship between readers and literature.

When I put out ‚Video Games‘ in May 2011, it was a 5:25-minute love song; I was surprised when a lot of people said they were listening to it. I was surprised when it went to the radio, without me even knowing how something like that even happens!

The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there is little or no cover to hide in, was probably slowly acquired in hard hunting and fighting lessons while trying to approach game, take enemies by surprise, or get safely away when compelled to retreat.

If someone is right for you, you’ll know it.

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.

At 57, to have a No. 1 album, I wasn’t expecting it.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You’d wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?

I think the worst part about a breakup sometimes, if one could choose a worst part, would possibly be if you get out of a relationship, and you don’t recognize yourself because you changed a lot about you.

There are certain nights you and your image just aren’t in the same bed.

But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.

You would think that a rock star being married to a supermodel would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

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.

When I did ‚Bird,‘ it was a surprise to some people, first because I wasn’t in it and second because most of the films I’d been doing were cop movies or westerns or adventure films, so to be doing one about Charlie Parker, who was a great influence on American music, was a great thrill for me.

I have written a book. This will come as quite a shock to some. They didn’t think I could read, much less write.

I try to do something the audience might not have seen before. Like if I’m gonna kiss a girl I wanna kiss her like a girl has never been kissed. Like maybe I would kick her legs out from under her and catch her right before she hits the ground and then kiss her.

Because we’re actors we can pretend and fake it, but I’d rather the intimate investment was authentic.

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.

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.

Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions.

People are always coming up to me and saying, ‚I heard your dad’s speech, and it’s really great.‘ And they’ll mention some place I didn’t even know my dad was going to.

My wife and I are very affectionate.

I spend a great deal of time with the President. We have a very close, personal, loyal relationship. I’m not, as they say, a potted plant in these meetings.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

You are Mrs. Reagan because Mr. Reagan loves you with all his heart.
