QUOTES ON RELATIONSHIPS

What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.

CHUCK PALAHNIUK, Choke

It's important not to lose who you are in a relationship just because it's nice to cuddle with somebody.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON, Seventeen Magazine, May 2007

No matter how successful a relationship may be, both sexually and emotionally, the lack of money can hamper and undermine, little by little, even the greatest passion.

LAURA ESQUIVEL, Swift as Desire

Weddings are the biggest relationship killers out there. If you can survive the wedding, they say, the rest is a piece of cake.

NOAH HAWLEY, Other People's Weddings

It is necessarily destructive of refined love; for how can a man continue to regard as his type of the ideal a being whom he has, be denying an equality of privilege with himself, degraded to something below himself?

HERBERT SPENCER, An Autobiography

When a match has equal partners, then I fear not.

AESCHYLUS, Prometheus Bound

SCARLETT JOHANSSON, London Telegraph, Dec. 10, 2006

Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them.

CHUCK PALAHNIUK, Invisible Monsters

You don't want to have to be the man and the woman in the relationship. I always say you want a man who can fix the toilet.

PAMELA ANDERSON

It doesn't matter what kind of world we live in as long as we have each other.

WALTER WYKES, The Profession
