Today's Quote

For most women sex is an epiphenomenon, the steam that issues from the engine. And the coal is mental. It's: "Do you make me laugh? Do you make me think? Do you talk to me?" It's not: "Are you handsome? Are you rich and accomplished and well hung?" I suppose more often than you might think, it's not even: "Are you male or female?" It's really just: "Are you there and do you get me?"

-Norah Vincent "Self-Made Man"

"It has become fashionable in therapy circle to hold two beliefs: (a) You can't change another person, only yourself; and (b) you shouldn't change yourself for a relationship or for another person....[But] we change each other all the time. People change for those they love quite often....The relationships that call forth positive change are those that provide a ground of accepting the person....Relationship can illuminate flaws in one's approach to life by exposing one to other ways of thinking and doing things....[Through relationships] we cann learn to recognize and change deeply unconscious patterns."

what you think, because it is only at this level that you
can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think."
