“A romantic partner is not all there is. It is not your only hope of getting the needs that you have reliably met. It is not your only hope of happiness. A great many needs that you have, which you are convinced can only come in the form of a romantic partner, are actually not dependent on a romantic partner.”

“People and families and cultures and religions and government organizations and educational sources and forms of entertainment have all been indoctrinating you with the false idea that marriage is the most important relationship you will have. And that the romantic pair bond is the only relationship in which your needs can be met.”

“You know how you’re completely different with your mom than you are with your best friend, than you are with your romantic partner, than you are with your boss? They’re just different facets of me.”

“If the life of a beloved woman—whether romantic partner or mother—is at risk, his life is at risk.”

“Love is generally romantic only in the beginning, and it doesn't last forever. Love slowly falls into a dull routine and some even lose the romance that once made love feel beautiful. But couples who can maintain the romance are generally called by the cause of sincere love, sincere sacrifice and sincere appreciation and hope for their partner's happiness.”

“The only relationship that can make both partners happy is one in which sentimentality has no place and neither partner makes any claim on the life and freedom of the other.”

“Saying 'I love you' is the only best way of signing a pact with your life partner. Either you surrender your Will to him or him to you!”

“So if you can manage it, you shouldn’t touch your partner, except for the sake of having children.”
Non ergo accedas, si potes, nisi liberorum procreandorum causa.

“You couldn't be romantic if your life depended on it." "You know what's lucky? Most bad guys don't ask you to be romantic on command, so that probably won't matter.”

“You need me as much as I need you. That makes us equal partners in my book.
Well, your book is just wrong.”
