Alain de Botton
“Love reaches a pitch at those moments when our beloved turns out to understand, more clearly than others have ever been able to, and perhaps even better than we do ourselves, the chaotic, embarrassing and shameful parts of us. That someone else gets who we are and both sympathizes with and forgives us for what they see underpins our whole capacity to trust and to give. Love is a dividend of gratitude for our lover’s insight into our own confused and troubled psyche.”
Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

Alain de Botton
“We can claim to have begun to know someone only when they have substantially disappointed us.”
Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

Ryan Holiday
“There’s no one to perform for. There is just work to be done and lessons to be learned, in all that is around us.”
Ryan Holiday, Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent

Alain de Botton
“We should add: it is a privilege to be the recipient of a sulk; it means the other person respects and trusts us enough to think we should understand their unspoken hurt.”
Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

Sue Johnson
“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.”
Sue Johnson, Hold Me Tight: Your Guide to the Most Successful Approach to Building Loving Relationships
