At the beginning of a relationship
we are attracted to the other person because
we think they are sexy, smart, funny -
whatever it is that we find appealing.
But very quickly, the focus of the relationship
turns to whether we feel appreciated.
If we don't feel appreciated, we don't feel loved.

by the social position of the female sex.
- Karl Marx
(German philosopher and political economist

Instead of being presented with stereotypes

children must have the opportunity
to learn that within each range,
some people are loathsome and some are delightful.

If sex and creativity are often
seen by dictators as subversive activities,
it's because they lead to the knowledge
that you own your own body

the most revolutionary insight of all.

Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.
True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love -
and not about seeking happiness for yourself.
Fortunately, in most cases our own loving presence
is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.
