Relationships Are Quotes

Relationships are never chance events.
- Keith Ablow

There is not enough celebration of companionship. Relationships aren't just about eroticism and sexuality.
- Francesca Annis

I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
- Cate Blanchett

You know, I think I still have a sense that no matter what you do, no matter what you achieve, no matter how much success you have, no matter how much money you have, relationships are important.
- Ed Bradley

The counter-argument would be, so what if my sexual relationships are superficial, one can still have satisfying and rewarding relationships with friends, or parents, or siblings, or whatever.
- Chester Brown

Relationships are the most important thing in life, and friends are a part of that.
- Nicholas Sparks

As the years go by those relationships are tested, and only then do you realize their true nature. Only after they've been tested through weddings, moves, funerals, divorces, births and other stages in life are you able to judge them. Until then, 'best friend', 'good guy', etc are only labels. In the end, it's interesting; often surprising to see the results.
- Benjamin J Carey

Finally, the complexities of black relationships are being portrayed in television and film.
- Lisa Nicole Carson

Some relationships aren't meant to be Great Love; they're meant to be like a hot fudge sundae--enjoyable but not something you can acually live on.
- Kristin Chenoweth

Happy will the house be in which the relationships are formed from character.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to hold power over another is to chose to limit to onself - to serve. Humans often do this - in touching the infirm and sick, in serving the ones whos minds have left to wander, in relation to the poor, in loving the very old and the very young, or even in caring for the others who has assumed a position of power over them.
- W Paul Young

Relationships are always worth restoring.
- Rick Warren

All I'm saying is, where relationships are concerned, don't confuse length with strength.
- Matt Dunn

Chris Claremont once said of Alan Moore, "if he could plot, we'd all have to get together and kill him." Which utterly misses the most compelling part of Alan's writing, the way he develops and expresses ideas and character. Plot does not define story. Plot is the framework within which ideas are explored and personalities and relationships are unfolded.
- Warren Ellis

If you ask where a relationship is going too often the question has a habit of turning into where the relationship went. Unfortunately, however, God has given women an inbuilt irresistible urge to insist on knowing where their relationships are going, and to force their partners to discuss the matter at length whenever they are late for something.
- Helen Fielding

All relationships are tough. Just like with music, sometimes you have harmony and other times you have cacophony.
- Gayle Forman

People always go on about how fantastic relationships are in the beginning, and of course everyone hates relationships when they end, but what about the middles? the middles where you know everything there is to know. Where you can look at the person you love and know what they're thinking, see something on the telly and know how they'd react;When you know exactly what they'd wear to come round and see you.
- Mike Gayle

I think relationships are very difficult. It's very easy to get swept away with excitement, glamour, and passion. I think the trick is to look for friendship rather than passion.
- Jane Green

Secondly, love and relationships are complicated. No one could ever get it right in a four-line sentence.
- Adrian Grenier

I kind of came to the conclusion after I did finally get married that love and relationships are just a series of horrific losses with hopefully one win.
- Justin Halpern

That's part of being gay, you know. It's not just who you want in bed. It's who your emotional relationships are with the other twenty-three hours of the day, whose arms you want around you when life hands you shit.
- Kaje Harper

In "America the extroverted," relationships are good, and even if they are very bad, they are better than no relationship. Introverts don't think this way. Many of us want and have great relationships, but we generally prefer "no relationship" to a bad one. Quality matters. We conserve our relationship resources, because we know they are limited.
- Laurie Helgoe

Terry is sure that Ig has never even kissed another girl, let alone fucked one, and he has wished for a while now that Iggy had more experience. Not because Terry didn't want his brother to be with Merrin, but because...well, because. Because love requires context. Because first relationships are by their very nature immature. So Merrin wanted them both to have a chance to grow up. So what?
- Joe Hill

Relationships are treated like Dixie cups. They are the same. They are disposable. If it does not work, drop it, throw it away, get another.
Committed bonds (including marriage) cannot last when this is the prevailing logic. Most of us are unclear about what to do to protect and strengthen caring bonds when our self-centered needs are not being met.
- Bell Hooks

I think relationships are broken up because of the media.
- Jayz

Broken relationships are a source of heavy heartbreak that seem to affect every family.
- Jerry B Jenkins

Relationships are hard. You're lucky if you find someone.
- Diane Keaton

Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.
- Helen Keller

The truth is, some relationships are supposed to last forever, and some are only supposed to last a few days. That's the way life is.
- Sophie Kinsella

Relationships are all about trust and equality. If one person shares, then the other person should share, too.
- Sophie Kinsella

Relationships are so much a rerun of our parental relationships. We're rerunning the relationship they were in together and we're rerunning the relationship we had with them with our lover.
- Kenny Loggins

Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.
- Hugh Mackay

I think I am too interested in my own ideas to copy anyone else's, but I find that other people's imagery, the flow of language in the outside world, games with words, and ideas about relationships are all most important to me.
- Margaret Mahy

It's just been my experience that some kinds of working relationships are better motivated by fear than by monetary gain.
- Stephenie Meyer

I guess relationships are just funny like that. It's impossible to figure out why some work out and others don't. Why someone can be so imperfect and still be the perfect person for you. Maybe, in the end, it's not about changing the person you care about. Maybe it's about learning what you can live with. Or maybe it's really about learning what you can't live without.
- Jenny O Connell

The relationships that people have - that are sexual, psychological, emotional - these relationships are not open to supervision by parents, schools, churches, or government. Nobody has any right to intervene at all in any kind of relationship like that.
- Madalyn Murray Ohair

The nice thing about twitter is the architecture of visibility. Email is invisible unless you reach out to someone directly. With Twitter, anyone can follow you and this is one of the big changes that was really introduced by Flickr, was this wonderful idea that you can follow somebody without their permission. Recognizing that relationships are asymmetrical, unlike facebook where we have to acknowledge each other otherwise we can't see each other.
- Tim O Reilly

No one else can want for me. No one can substitute his act of will for mine. It does sometimes happen that someone very much wants me to want what he wants. This is the moment when the impassable frontier between him and me, which is drawn by free will, becomes most obvious. I may not want that which he wants me to want - and in this precisely I am incommunicabilis. I am, and I must be, independent in my actions. All human relationships are posited on this fact.
- Pope John Paul Ii

Relationships are so much like the United States - they only really thrive when faced with an external threat.
- Laura Pedersen

Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you're angry? When someone is angry, you don't doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive.
- Christopher Pike

Relationships are a never-ending work in progress.
- Francis Ray

I wonder if it is possible to have two boyfriends. I mean, times are changing. Relationships are more complicated. In France men always have mistresses and wives and so on. Henri probably has two girlfriends. He would laugh if you told him you just had one. He would say, 'C'est tres, tres tragique.'
- Louise Rennison

We're quite volatile as individuals, but that doesn't work exponentially when we are together. Relationships are about eating humble pie.
- Guy Ritchie

We target people who understand that relationships are the lifeline of a small company.
- David Rose

Relationships are monuments build on lies
- Dan Savage

I have no stories to sell. A lot of my relationships are with civilians, and no one wants to hear about those.
- David Spade

Long-distance relationships are another way of avoiding intimacy.
- Danielle Steel

Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.
- Ben Stein

We like to pretend that our generous impulses come naturally. But the reality is we often become our kindest, most ethical selves only by seeing what it feels like to be a selfish jackass first. It's the reason... we have to get burned before we understand the power of fire; the reason our most meaningful relationships are so often those that continued beyond the very juncture at which they came the closest to ending.
- Cheryl Strayed

But then why is it so terrible for me to be with the girl I love? Everyone one is permitted to have what they want, express their love as they please, without fear of harassment, ostracism, persecution, or even the law. Even emotionally abusive, adulterous relationships are often tolerated, despite the harm they cause others. In our progressive, permissive society, all these harmful, unhealthy types of "love" are allowed--but not ours.
- Tabitha Suzuma

Relationships are made of talk - and talk is for girls and women.
- Deborah Tannen

Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person.

- Rebecca West

Human relationships are vast as deserts: they demand all daring, she seemed to suggest.
- Patrick White

For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.
- Michelle Williams

On-screen relationships are the best because you don't have to worry about saying the wrong things. And if the guy's got a girlfriend, or I'm not attracted to him, it's even better. It's just my character kissing his character.
- Alicia Witt

Relationships are never static. They have to evolve over time as the individuals in them change.
- Sherryl Woods

Intimate relationships are a gold mine for literature to explore, to understand, to describe.
- A B Yehoshua

Bass Player Quotes

I always just wanted to be the singer or the bass player in the band. I'd love to have a band, where I was obviously the singer, but where it wasn't me, it wasn't my name. - Bryan Adams In jazz, you listen to what the bass player is doing and what the drummer is doing, what the pianist and the guitarist is doing, and then you play something that compliments that, so you are thinking simultaneously and thinking ahead. - David Amram I can understand why some of these drummers and bass players become cult figures with all of their equipment and the incredible amount of technique they have. But there's very little that I think satisfies you intellectually or emotionally. - Ken Burns Jack Bruce, as soon as I saw him, it changed me. I didn't even know what bass players did until I saw Cream. - Geezer Butler Bass players are always the intellectual kind, but nobody knows it. - Stanley Clarke There are a lot of people who can do it on the guitar and sing at the same t...

She was convinced that she was anorexic, because every time she looked in the mirror she did indeed see a fat person. - Terry Pratchett I sensed immediately that he'd once been overweight.
