“When a man can listen to a woman's feelings without getting angry and frustrated, he gives her a wonderful gift.
He makes it safe for her to express herself.
The more she is able to express herself, the more she feels heard and understood, and the more she is able to give a man the loving trust, acceptance, appreciation, admiration, approval, and encouragement that he needs.”
― John Gray, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

― Stan Tatkin, We Do: Saying Yes to a Relationship of Depth, True Connection, and Enduring Love

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.”
