“In Beziehungen geht es immer auch darum, die Balance zwischen Nähe und Distanz zu finden, die für beide Partner passt. Beziehung ist ein Tanz zwischen Distanzierung und ehrlichem Austausch. Je mehr Nähe entsteht, desto mehr an unverarbeiteten und schwierigen Emotionen tritt zutage. Je mehr an alten Emotionen wir aber integrieren können, desto geringer wird die Notwendigkeit zur Distanzherstellung.”

“In bila sva. Velika. Mogočna. Zaljubljena. Pa ne na način, na katerega danes ljubijo mladi. Ni šlo za nekaj minljivega. Če bi, danes ne bi pisala besed, ki jih pišem. Kajti ko enkrat okusiš nekaj tako resničnega in se temu odrečeš, si kot vojak, ki se po bitki domov ne vrne več enak. Ljubezen spremeni človeka. Ga odpre. Pozdravi. Da, predvsem to.

“In books, coaching sessions, and networking events aimed at the white-collar unemployed, the seeker soon encounters ideologies that are explicitly hostile to any larger, social understanding of his or her situation. The most blatant of these, in my experience, was the EST-like, victim-blaming ideology represented by Patrick Knowles and the books he recommended to his boot-camp participants. Recall that at the boot camp, the timid suggestion that there might be an outer world defined by the market or ruled by CEOs was immediately rebuked; there was only us, the job seekers. It was we who had to change. In a milder form, the constant injunction to maintain a winning attitude carries the same message: look inward, not outward; the world is entirely what you will it to be.”
