with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

Don't take it personally.

A person who trusts no one can't be trusted.

they're who they've been
throughout your whole relationship.

never give up when you still feel you can't take it.

Important ideas can come from unexpected places.
We tend to label people - Genius, Idiot,
Socialist, Regressive, Wingnut, Revolutionary, Terrorist.

to good ideas - whatever their source.
It is equally important to avoid accepting any idea
merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

in the midst of this world,

What's the proper salutation between people
as they pass each other in this flood?

No person will have occasion to complain

unless he takes genuine joy
in the successes of those under him.

What is necessary to change a person is
to change his awareness of himself.

Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.
True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love -
and not about seeking happiness for yourself.
Fortunately, in most cases our own loving presence
is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
A sense of humor... is needed armor.
Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips
is a sign that the person down deep
has a pretty good grasp of life.

And you, Sonja, you look more beautiful
standing here than you do in person.
- the movie Love and Death (1975)

a crank until the idea succeeds.

It's simply being tuned in to the thing or person before you
and offering small gestures toward what it needs at that time.

is not the person I am today.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

with his whole strength and soul
can be a true master.
For this reason mastery demands all of a person.

I've become the person I've always hated, but I'm happier.

is the person who argues with him.

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.
- Dana Scully

lies in their own hands.

you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
