Human Relationships Quotes

“Let us express our confidence lavishly. In the construction of human relationships, trust can unlock bolted hearts and evaporate groundless suspicions. It has the power to uplift us and detach us from material calculations. Except, if reliance shows nasty shatters, we may put it on hold for a while or, furthermore, deny it. ("'My radio ")”

“Without institutional obligations, the upkeep of friendships require must be very deliberate... However, the weakness of friendship is also the source of its immeasurable strength. Why do true friendships make us happier than spouses or children? Because they're always a deliberate choice, never an obligation... Someone does not cease to be your parent, boss, or spouse because you stop liking them. Friendship is more real because either person can walk away at any time. Its fragility proves its purity.”

“To Aristotle, friends “are disposed toward each other as they are disposed to themselves: a friend is another self.” … Your brain is like a clever lawyer, twisting the words in Darwin’s contract. Selfishness can actually be altruism— if I believe that you are me.”

“Our growing dependence on technologies no one seems to understand or control has given rise to feelings of powerlessness and victimization. We find it more and more difficult to achieve a sense of continuity, permanence, or connection with the world around us. Relationships with others are notably fragile; goods are made to be used up and discarded; reality is experienced as an unstable environment of flickering images. Everything conspires to encourage escapist solutions to the psychological problems of dependence, separation, and individuation, and to discourage the moral realism that makes it possible for human beings to come to terms with existential constraints on their power and freedom.”

“If a man gets his hands red with the blood of the innocent and he is conscious of this fact; he either spends the rest of his life in utter damnation and guilt or he commits further wreck still. He is a threat to the society as it stands. If such a person works hard, catches upon opportunity, is cunning, and has luck by his side he would turn the tables on the people. He sells massacre at the market, and he hangs and rips people apart in squares. To be born rich and powerful becomes a tragedy and for the first time, poverty is beautiful and desired. You won’t find poor, hardworking, grinding workers broken easily, they are resilient, but the rich and elite, become agitated at the first instance of discomfort. The man who took innocent lives to better his position becomes the devil that haunts the elite and the few days they do get to spend are equal to a whole life full of the misery of the slaves they made of others.”

“Understanding RELATIONSHIPS – If I have something to share, however, I didn’t share it with you because you didn’t ask me. It means I DON’T TRUST YOU. Even if you didn’t ask me, I still shared it with you, giving my trust to you. However, you shared it with the entire world. It means YOU ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY. I know what you know, however, when I asked you, you lied to me. It means YOU ARE DISHONEST. LOVE and AFFECTION are two essential elements of HUMAN RELATIONSHIP. However, whether you deserve my LOVE and AFFECTION or not is based on your TRUSTWORTHINESS and HONESTY.”

“But you could not be where I was without experiencing many such transformations. One of your customers, one of your neighbors (let us say), is a man known to be more or less a fool, a big talker, and one day he comes into your shop and you have heard and you see that he is dying even as he is standing there looking at you, and you can see in his eyes that (whether or not he admits it) he knows it, and all of a sudden everything is changed. You seem no longer to be standing together in the center or time. Now you are on time's edge, looking off into eternity. And this man, your foolish neighbor, your friend and brother, has shed somehow the laughter that has followed him through the world, and has assumed the dignity and the strangeness of a traveler departing forever.”

“Class never runs scared. It is sure-footed and confident. It can handle anything that comes along. Class has a sense of humor. It knows a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class knows that good manners are nothing more than a series of small, inconsequential sacrifices. Class bespeaks an aristocracy that has nothing to do with ancestors or money. Some wealthy “blue bloods” have no class, while individuals who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real. It can’t be faked. Class never tried to build itself by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not strive to look better by making others look worse. Class can “walk with kings and keep it’s virtue and talk with crowds and keep the common touch.” Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because that person is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you’ve got it made. If you don’t have class, no matter what else you have, it doesn’t make any difference.”

“((طلاق)) یک اتفاق سخت و ناراحت کننده است. اگر سعی کنید آن را طوری جلوه دهید که گویی مشکل کوچکی است یا تاثیر عاطفی چندانی ندارد، در واقع ارزش زندگی خانوادگی خود را که تا آن روز با هم داشته اید زیر سوال می برید. همچنین این کار توهینی است به توانایی و شهامت کودک تان در ((درک)) اهمیت این اتفاق.”

“...the manner of speech of everybody in the world — held strange, elusive complexities, intricately presented with overtones of vagueness: I have always been baffled by these precautions so strict as to be useless, and by the intensely irritating little maneuvers surrounding them. In the end I have felt past caring; I have laughed them away with my clowning, or surrendered to them abjectly with a silent nod of the head, in the attitude of defeat.”

“وسعت عشق پدر و مادر در نظر یک بچه غیر قابل اندازه گیری است. ولی این مسئله معنایش این نیست که شما نباید سعی کنید عشقتان را برایش توضیح دهید.”

“پذیرش شرایط یا وظایف جدید لزوما معنایش این نیست که تو همیشه این شرایط را دوست داری یا می خواهی همیشه آن وظایف را انجام دهی.”
