“Εγώ ζητάω την αγάπη. Εγώ ζητάω να σκορπίσω την ψυχή μου σε αντίθετους ανέμους, να φθαρώ στα αντίξοα ρεύματα. Εγώ γυρεύω να σπείρω τις αγωνίες μου για να θερίσω πικρίες. Εγώ θέλω τη στυφή χαρά που μόνο η συντριβή χαρίζει. Εγώ θέλω...Δεν ξέρω τι θέλω.”

“Hot sex doesn’t lead to secure love; rather, secure attachment leads to hot sex—and also to love that lasts. Monogamy is not a myth.”

“For all of us, the person we love most in the world, the one who can send us soaring joyfully into space, is also the person who can send us crashing back to earth. All it takes is a slight turning away of the head or a flip, careless remark. There is no closeness without this sensitivity. If our connection with our mate is safe and strong, we can deal with these moments of sensitivity. Indeed, we can use them to bring our partner even closer. But when we don’t feel safe and connected, these moments are like a spark in a tinder forest. They set fire to the whole relationship.”

“Nothing is so sure as the final oblivion.”
