Quote by Ruth Gendler

“Change wears my sister’s moccasins. He stays up late and wakes up early. He likes to come up quietly and kiss me on the back of the neck when I am at my drawing table. He wants to amuse people, and it hurts him when they yell at him. Change is very musical, but sometimes you must listen for a long time before you hear the pattern in his music.”

“In long-term relationships, as in families, we often get in the habit of thinking that change isn't possible. We think the other person should change and they won't, so we give up hope. But we need to stop judging and return to our own internal communication. If we wait for our parents or our partner to change, it may take a very long time. If we wait for the other person to change, we may spend all our time waiting. So it's better to change yourself. Don't try to force the other person to change. Even if it takes a long time, you will feel better when you are master of yourself and you are doing your best.”

“I shall not wonder more, then, But I shall know. Leaves change, and birds, flowers, And after years are still the same. The sea's breast heaves in sighs to the moon, But they are moon and sea forever. As in other times the trees stand tense and lonely, And spread a hollow moan of other times. You will be you yourself, I'll find you more, not else, For vintage of the woeful years. The sea breathes, or broods, or loudens, Is bright or is mist and the end of the world; And the sea is constant to change. I shall not wonder more, then, But I shall know. -Change”

“The individual who kills who they ‘are’ out of the belief that they are liberating who they are ‘not’ will eventually kill both. And I have often thought that one way to make certain that we destroy our lives is to live it having died twice.”

“I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it’s just too much. The current’s too strong. They’ve got to let go, drift apart.”
