Famous Richelle E. Goodrich Quotes

“Our feelings need validation. When we dare to share our true feelings, what we seek is validation and support. Not criticism. Not correction. Not solutions. What we need is to be heard, understood, and validated. Remember this when someone speaks openly with you. Validation is a profound form of love.”

“I slay dragons at night while you sleep. I see by the way your face contorts how they exist in your dreams. Willing a magic sword, I plunge into your deepest nightmares and swing at the beasts with all my might, dodging flames exhaled by monsters that would eat me alive to go on torturing the fair one I love. I see your face relax, eyes still drowsily closed, when the mighty dragon is slain. It may be that my fingers rub soft circles on your forehead as I imagine my brave fight as a knight reclaiming your dreams. You smile under the spell of my touch, and I am rewarded. And so, my love, as I await the dawn, I stand ready to slay dragons while you sleep.”

“When someone speaks to you, gripes at you, whines or cries or barks at you, resist the natural tendency to swiftly respond, and instead, listen carefully with the intent to honestly understand. The more you listen to comprehend exactly what the person is trying to communicate, the more you begin to know the individual and his or her concerns. As you grow to know the individual, the easier it is to care. This leads to greater love towards the person. So to restate a truth: the more you listen, the more you understand. The more you understand, the more you care. The more you care, the more you love. And the more you love, the stronger your relationship will be.”

“Love by the sweat of thy brow. Not through whispered words of hollow sound or lofty dreams ne’er substance bound that more than oft do run aground. Nay, love with mighty, blistered hands that turn the soil and carve the land. A bearer of toil and golden band. Be strong! A founder of the feast! Protective knight who slays the beast! For promises and vows aloud are naught but wispy veneer shroud like cobwebs, frail, the airy words and wooing fail. So work, my darling. Toil as proof. Thy loyal heart be drained of youth and yet beat on, incessant sound. Both feet take root within the ground, and service be thy kingly crown. Love by the sweat of thy brow.”

“Last night I danced. My body rose from its slump for the first time since the beginning of sorrows—my fingers beckoning to the stars at arm's length, back arching as tingles bubbled up my spine, hips caught in a silent tempo while on tiptoe I twirled in endless euphoric circles. It didn't matter that you loved me or that you didn't. For I was wanted by the gods last night, their seraphs and muses descending on moonbeams into my midst, caressing my face and gliding their spirited arms about my waist, lifting my toes from the soil that I might feel what it is to fly without heaviness of heart. I danced with them under the glow of a loyal moon. For one brief, visceral dance I joyed as Heaven joys—in endless bliss. And the universe cherished me.”

“Individuals can hold differing beliefs and still be friends. They can keep opposing opinions and still love each other dearly. Believe me, my family and I do not share all the same views or beliefs, yet I love them more than life.”

“Do you want to know if you have found the right one? That person with whom you can spend the rest of your life, if not eternity? Then answer these questions: 1.) Do you consider this person to be your best friend in the world? 2.) Can you (do you) talk to this person about anything—openly, honestly, and without fear? 3.) Does this person understand and support your dreams (realistic or not) without apathy or criticism? 4.) Does this person share your core values, beliefs, and principles? 5.) Does this person possess a kind disposition and an intellect comparable to your own? If the answer to every question is a solid yes, then chances are you have found the right one.”
