“Remember, attraction is only one part of a relationship. Loyalty, commitment, responsibility and maturity make up the rest.”

“We have to recognise that there cannot be relationships unless there is commitment, unless there is loyalty, unless there is love, patience, persistence.”

“You, oh mature ones, keep company solely with other mature ones, and your maturity is so mature that it can only chum up with maturity!”

“Quarrels are a natural part of relationships. Making up is always the best part.”

“Relationships is not a game of amateurs is what people say..But they begin to foster between amateurs and become a reason to make them matured grown-ups!”

“The middle ages did not care much for alphabetical order, because they were committed to rational order. To the medieval mind, the universe [is] a harmonious whole whose parts are related to one another. It was the responsibility of the author or scholar to discern these rational relationships -- of hierarchy, or of chronology, or of similarities and differences, and so forth.”
