~ Assumptions are the termites of relationships. ~ ~ The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex. ~ ~ Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. ~ ~ Compromises are for relationships, not wine. ~ ~ The key to the behavior of subjects lies not in pent-up anger or aggression, but in the nature of their relationship to authority. They have given themselves to the authority; they see themselves as instruments for the execution of his wishes; once so defined, they are unable to break free. ~ ~ 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. ~ ~ By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man.

It should call attention to the subject without making any particular effort to cover it. ~ ~ Living with integrity means:
* Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships.
* Asking for what you want and need from others.

* Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values.
* Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.
~ ~ 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.
~ ~ Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. ~ |
