when you put something good into the world, something good comes back to you.

There are problems connected with infidelity and problems connected with being faithful at any cost, and I am for letting those concerned choose the problems they'd prefer. There need not be one rule for all. Infidelity is enlarging and fragmenting and very very dangerous, but it has been known to retrieve people as well as marriages, so it can't be only bad.

Loving someone means helping them to be more themselves, which can be different from being what you’d like them to be, although often they turn out the same

The dream of romantic love is taken more seriously in North America than it is anywhere else in the world, which is why we believe in fidelity and why we believe in infidelity as well. It is also, of course, what makes our divorce rate as high as it is. Falling in love at first sight and instant gratification are part of the world in which we live, so there are people who believe adamantly in fidelity. They just don't believe in it for long.

Men who take advantage of one woman take advantage of them all.

you have to be very careful when you give to others that you don't tell them how great you are rather than how much you value them.

Love is short, forgetting is long, and understanding longer still.
