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

Nicholas Sparks
I mean, if the relationship can't survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?

Nick Hornby
It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.

Nicholas Sparks
Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.
August Wilson
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.
Margaret Atwood
I don't think the relationship between novels and realities are one to one. Of course novels play different roles. It's essentially just a long narrative form. What you use that long narrative form for can be very different.

Maya Angelou
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

William Shakespeare
They do not love that do not show their love.

Amy Sedaris
My father and I have a very good relationship. We always got along. But I always scold him.

W. H. Auden
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.

Roseanne Barr
You kind of restructure your whole personality to be in a healthy relationship.

Anderson Cooper
Not to sound too Dr. Phil all of a sudden, but I think the key to survival is to embrace one's past and to not run away from it. And to come to some sort of relationship with it or understanding of it.

Rainer Maria Rilke
A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship.

Anderson Cooper
Never too late to change your relationship with somebody in your life.

Steve Jobs
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.

Milan Kundera
The only relationship that can make both partners happy is one in which sentimentality has no place and neither partner makes any claim on the life and freedom of the other.

Babe Ruth
As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.

Rumi
Here is a relationship booster that is guaranteed to work: Every time your spouse or lover says something stupid make your eyes light up as if you just heard something brilliant.

Hillary Clinton
Remember, the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces, have a working relationship with the Palestinian Authority security forces, which have been incredibly professional.

B. R. Ambedkar
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

Hillary Clinton
I would be delighted if the United States could have a positive relationship with Russia, and I would be thrilled if the Russian people, who are so capable, had a normal country that they could chart a different future.

Sir Michael Caine
It's vital to have your own space so you aren't constantly in each other's pockets.

Sharon Stone
Women can fake an orgasm, but men can fake an entire relationship.

Steven Spielberg
Even if I'd had a really happy relationship with my father and there was no emotional hiatus for a decade and a half, I probably would still have made some of the same choices for movies that I've made.

Neale Donald Walsch
The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.

Goldie Hawn
No relationship is easy, and nobody should ever think it is. The minute you start forgetting the needs of the other person is when you get in trouble.

Robert F. Kennedy
The ultimate relationship between justice and law will be an eternal subject for speculation and analysis. But it may be said that in a democratic society, law is the form which free men give to justice.

Goldie Hawn
The truth is that no matter how old we are, as long as our mothers are alive, we want our mother. And it's a very powerful relationship if it's healthy.

Sandra Bullock
Y'know, every relationship is different. There are good marriages, bad marriages, connected partners, unconnected partners.
Elton John
I'd walk a million miles to give her what she needs. But she would walk a million more to do what she believes.

Nas
Me and hip-hop have a relationship that has nothing to do with no other rapper, no matter where you from or nothing. Every n*gga got his own personal relationship with hip-hop and this is mine.

Steven Alexander Wright
I just have a relationship with my imagination. It's like my friend, almost.

Goldie Hawn
It's ridiculous to have to base your relationship on money.

Donald Trump
I love Neil Young. And he loves me! We have a great relationship.

Donald Trump
I have women working in high positions. I was one of the first people to put women in charge of big construction jobs. And, you know, I've had a great relationship with women.

Susan Sontag
My emotional life: dialectic between craving for privacy and need to submerge myself in a passionate relationship to another.

William James
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.

Walter Winchell
Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you.

Brad Pitt
Family - and certainly kids and a stable relationship - is something bigger than yourself. They need you to sit down with them, be there for them when they wake up in the middle of the night.

Andrea Bocelli
People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there's no connection.

Salma Hayek
What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public - keeping it as personal as it can be. It's the only way it is real.

Fred McFeely Rogers
Mutual caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other's achievements, confidence in oneself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain.

Blake Lively
I've never really had a competitive relationship in any work situation.

Rollo May
The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt, but in spite of doubt. (p. 21)

Goldie Hawn
A lasting relationship isn't about marriage. It's about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work.

T. D. Jakes
Some of the best people with whom you can have a relationship are the people who challenge your thinking.
George Clooney
I'd think, 'In a relationship, we should never have his kind of fight.' Then, instead of figuring out how to make it work, I looked for a way to get out of it. The truth is, you shouldn't be married if your that kind of person.

Nora Roberts
A relationship isn't something that has to be created in a day or perfected in a day. Part of the game is to keep working on it. It's something that'll always be just a little flawed.

Gautama Buddha
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Cher
It’s not necessary, in order to be a complete person, that I have a man. It’s not the end-all, be-all of my life.

Amelia Earhart
Being alone is scary, but not as scary as feeling alone in a relationship.

Blake Lively
Every relationship you have, you're learning and growing and taking something from that.

Alice Hoffman
Still, she knows one thing for certain: never judge a relationship unless you are the one wrapped up in its arms.

Stevie Nicks
My generation fought very hard for feminism, and we fought very hard to not be labeled as you had to have a husband or you had to be in a relationship, or you were somehow not a cool chick.

Jennifer Aniston
I think a good relationship is about collaboration.

Katherine Heigl
I can't cultivate a relationship with my child if it's between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized, 'This is not going to work.' It will work some of the year, but not 12 months a year.

Leonardo DiCaprio
I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship.

Dennis Quaid
I love being a dad. Basically it's the most gratifying, rewarding relationship in life. But, at the same time, it certainly is the most challenging.

Shia LaBeouf
There's only so far you can take a relationship before you got to get into things that are too serious or over the top.

Megan Fox
I could see myself in a relationship with a girl; Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She's mesmerizing.
Joyce Brothers
The topic of trust is an important factor in all matters of the heart - and here's why. Men lie to women. Women lie to men. And most people agree that some lying is even necessary - to avoid petty squabbles and to grease the wheels of a relationship.

Gerard Piqué
You try to do the best for your club, and you also create relationships and friendships - with Neymar, my relationship is really strong.

Orlando Bloom
When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.

Britney Spears
My mom is a wonderful woman. She's always been an inspiration to me, but having kids helped me make even more sense of my relationship with her.

Joss Whedon
Everyone has their first date and the object is to hide your flaws. And then you're in a relationship, and it's all about hiding your disappointment. And then, once you're married, it's about hiding your sins.

Indira Gandhi
There is not love where there is no will.

Cher
The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing - and then marry him.

Brad Pitt
I grew up very religious, and I don't have a great relationship with religion.

Paris Hilton
Being grown up and in a serious relationship, I've learned so much. I'm happier than I've every been.

Dakota Fanning
I would love to direct one day. I value the relationship that I have with a director so much, and I would be really excited to be on the other end of that relationship.
Mario Andretti
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.

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

Leonardo DiCaprio
I've always been a slow starter. My first date was with a girl called Cessi. We had a beautiful relationship over the phone all summer, and then when we met, I couldn't look her in the eye.

Kirsten Dunst
I think every woman goes through a relationship where she is with a guy that is really not right for her. You get lost in it.

John Gray
If I seek to fulfill my own needs at the expense of my partner, we are sure to experience unhappiness, resentment, and conflict. The secret of forming a successful relationship is for both partners to win.

Joaquin Phoenix
With public figures involved in a relationship it seems that there is a machine behind their love so oftentimes.

Paris Hilton
I get along with guys; most of my friends are guys. It's easier to trust men sometimes. I only have a few close girlfriends that I trust.

Mark Rothko
I'm not an abstractionist. I'm not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.

John Krasinski
You can never perfect a relationship, and you can never perfect yourself to be in a relationship. You're always going to be changing, and you hope it's for the better.

Travis Barker
I think putting your relationship out there for people to interpret and have their own opinion about, I think it's crazy.

Donald Trump
I have a great relationship with the Mexican people.

Alan Turing
I want a permanent relationship, and I might feel inclined to reject anything which of its nature could not be permanent.

Queen Elizabeth II
Families, friends and communities often find a source of courage rising up from within. Indeed, sadly, it seems that it is tragedy that often draws out the most and the best from the human spirit.

Ashton Kutcher
The goal is not to get into a relationship; the goal is to be in a relationship.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Girls we love for what they are; young men for what they promise to be.

When I'm in a relationship, I give my heart and soul to it and do it 100 percent.

Bernard Meltzer
Topcats often begin as underdogs.

Halle Berry
I'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage.

You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.

George H. W. Bush
We can realise a lasting peace and transform the East-West relationship to one of enduring co-operation.

David Foster Wallace
...most Substance-addicted people are also addicted to thinking, meaning they have a compulsive and unhealthy relationship with their own thinking.
Bruce Springsteen
You ask for your audience's investment in your music; you're in a relationship with them. And their relationship with the E Street Band is separate from whatever else I might do. I like the idea of us being something that people rely on.

Robert Downey, Jr.
I'm in a happy relationship, me and my ex are on really good terms, my kid and I are in a good spot.

Luke Bryan
I always want to have a personal relationship with everybody that works for me.

Jhené Aiko
I belong to the world.I'm in a relationship with the world.

Aldo Leopold
Civilization has so cluttered this elemental man-earth relationship with gadgets and middlemen that awareness of it is growing dim. We fancy that industry supports us, forgetting what supports industry.

Albert Schweitzer
Man can no longer live for himself alone. We must realize that all life is valuable and that we are united to all life. From this knowledge comes our spiritual relationship with the universe.

Ray Liotta
I talk to my friends and, you know, they all seem to get relationships that aren't right. You kind of want someone who is not at your beck and call but loves the idea of being in a relationship and what that entails.
