“The person that loves the least, controls the relationship”

“The person that cares the least...controls the relationship. ~Taylor”

“any relationship is under the control of the person who cares the least.”

“Love is giving up control. It’s surrendering the desire to control the other person. The two—love and controlling power over the other person—are mutually exclusive. If we are serious about loving someone, we have to surrender all the desires within us to manipulate the relationship.”

“I think of how the person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.”

“The tension between the governed and the governing is what makes the world go 'round. It's not love, it's that tension, because that tension exists in love affairs. The whole idea of control is at the heart of human relationships. Control and resistance to control.”
