“Relationships unlock certain parts of who we are supposed to be.”

“That’s what relationships are supposed to be all about—sharing the hard parts along with the easy parts and getting to the same destination together.”

“I realize that a certain school of thoughtsays that who we are is something we construct for ourselves. We build ourselves out of what we think we remember, what we believe to be true about our life; and the possessions we gather around us are supposedly a part of this, that we are, to some extent what we own.”

“We can't get rid of any part of ourselves. If we want to change our relationship with food--which is part of who we are--we must first turn towards it and treat it with utmost kindness.”

“But certainly not everyday you can find someone who wants to have a monogamous relationship”

“Okay, so two people who are in love - they are who they are when they're apart, but when they're together, the fact that they're in love is supposed to make them better. Love and relationships are supposed to make people better.”
