When a love-relationship is at its height there is no room left for any interest in the environment; a pair of lovers are sufficient to themselves

Sigmund Freud

Insecurity is the worst sense that lovers feel; sometimes the most humdrum desireless marriage seems better. Insecurity twists meanings and poisons trust.

Graham Greene

If we can exit a relationship, pressure to reconcile lessens; if we must live with those who have wronged us, we are pushed to reconcile.

Miroslav Volf

The reason why we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.

Mitch McConnell is not well liked. Many Kentuckians feel that he has left them behind, that he is a part of the D.C. sort of swamp, the system that has left so many Kentuckians behind, that is really dysfunctional.

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was... The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.

Milan Kundera

In any relationship, when you go through any big change, you struggle to find your new constellation, your new ground. It takes a while to determine what the new relationship between you is.

Alicia Vikander

The myth of the dead Indian goes back to the Protestant settlement of the U.S. The Pilgrims wanted to start a new life in America. They wanted to believe that in some sense they had come to a new Eden and that they could leave history behind in Europe. So they convinced themselves that this land had no history, that this was "virgin" land. This made the Indians' presence inconvenient.

Richard Rodriguez

When boys and girls go out to play there is always someone left behind, and the boy who is left behind is no use to the girl who is left behind.

The worst thing that can happen to the New Left in this country is to turn the struggle into a military struggle against the establishment.

David Dellinger

History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell there political and cultural time of day. It is also a compass that people use to find themselves on the map of human geography. History tells a people where they have been and what they have been, where they are and what they are. Most important, history tells a people where they still must go, what they still must be. The relationship of history to the people is the same as the relationship of a mother to her child.

Dr. John

It is said that the history of peoples who have a history is the history of class struggle. It might be said with at least as much truthfulness, that the history of peoples without history is a history of their struggle against the state.

Pierre Clastres

Men are rarely questioned on their spouses or their partners, and nor should they be. And the question to ask is why is this done to women?

Joan Kirner

I've had partners - life partners, that didn't understand it and I felt the pressure of that and took it out on Tessa, or vice versa I'm sure it wasn't peachy to be in a relationship with me.
