Random quote on Relationships

Most quoted on relationships:

Science, when applied to personal relationships, is always just wrong.

E. M. Forster Selected Letters (1983)

Even walking side by side for a long time, some relationships never touch the heart.

Sanu Sharma

Perhaps it is the deprivation that keeps hearts connected. Once everything is fulfilled, wings sprout in everyone’s heart, and they fly off to different destinations. How can a relationship stay warm with just the body, when the heart is absent?"

Sanu Sharma

In a relationship, if there aren't equal rights to agree and disagree, it won't lead anywhere, and I don't want to be bound in a relationship that goes nowhere.

Sanu Sharma

Like, love; but do not make the person an indispensable part of your habits, routines, and daily affairs. It can be relatively easy to forget an individual, but breaking a habit is exceedingly difficult.

Sanu Sharma

If someone wishes to alter a relationship, they must discuss it with the other person, negotiate the change, and listen to the other person’s account. There is no ethical way around it.

Sarah Schulman Conflict Is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair (2016)

Probable that I am now better than most people and as good as I ever shall be at this game, and can therefore get to know anyone I wish, provided I am not physically repellent. And perhaps this is why personal relationships no longer seem to me a serious branch of study.

E. M. Forster Commonplace Book (1985)

Why does a man who is truly in love insist that this relationship must continue and be "lifelong"? Because life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic. Who would want to wake up halfway through an operation?

Cesare Pavese This Business of Living (1935)

As the egoic mode of consciousness and all the social, political, and economic structures that it created enter the final stage of collapse, the relationships between men and women reflect the deep state of crisis in which humanity now finds itself. As humans have become increasingly identified with their mind, most relationships are not rooted in Being and so turn into a source of pain and become dominated by problems and conflict.

Eckhart Tolle The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (1997)

One who desperately tries to shatter and ruin a long-standing relationship for being incapable of handling a single 'no'—how would they react to hearing countless 'no's once the relationship deepens? I am no longer willing to maintain a relationship that can be deteriorated by a single 'no'."

Sanu Sharma

Hegel was the first to state correctly the relation between freedom and necessity. To him, freedom is the insight into necessity.

Friedrich Engels

The relations that define a system as a unity, and determine the dynamics of interaction and transformations which it may undergo as such a unity constitute the organization of the machine.

Humberto Maturana Autopoiesis and cognition: The realization of the living (1980)

Unless one cultivates slave-master relationship with the Lord,
No one can go across the ocean of this material world.
Who is as virtuous a master as Rama?
And who is as vicious as I am?

Tulsidas

People from Oaxaca have a very specific relationship to food where food is your life. Everything surrounds food. Family, celebration, death, everything has to do with food

Bricia Lopez

Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.

Margaret Wheatley Turning to one another (2002)

We are not lacking of materiality. We are lacking of good relationships, but this is something the process of construction and architecture can... provide.

Anna Heringer Architecture is a Tool to Improve Lives (2021)
