Relationships Quotes from A Little Life book by Hanya Yanagihara

  • As you got older, you realized that the qualities you valued in the people you slept with or dated weren't necessarily the ones you wanted to live with, or be with, or plod through your days with. If you were smart, and if you were lucky, you learned this and accepted this. You figured out what was most important to you and you looked for it, and you learned to be realistic.
  • Relationships never provide you with everything. They provide you with some things. You take all the things you want from a person - sexual chemistry, let's say, or good conversation, or financial support, or intellectual compatibility, or niceness, or loyalty - and you get to pick three of those things. Three - that's it. Maybe four, if you're very lucky. The rest you have to look for elsewhere. It's only in the movies that you find someone who gives you all of those things.
  • The ideal expression of an adult relationship, to have someone with whom you could discuss the mechanics of a shared existence.

Relationships Quotes from The Almanack of Naval Ravikant book by Eric Jorgenson

  • When you find the right thing to do, when you find the right people to work with, invest deeply. Sticking with it for decades is really how you make the big returns in your relationships and in your money.
  • If you can't see yourself working with someone for life, don't work with them for a day.
  • All benefits in life come from compound interest, whether in money, relationships, love, health, activities, or habits. I only want to be around people I know I'm going to be around for the rest of my life. I only want to work on things I know have long-term payout.

Relationships Quotes from Happy Place book by Emily Henry

  • Whether we're together or we're not, I'm yours, so let's be together. As much as we can. As long as we can. As soon as we can. Everything else, we'll figure out later.
  • Maybe I used to think there'd be a perfect time or place. But now I think, if you really want to be with someone, you don't wait for things to be perfect.

Relationships Quotes from The 5 Types of Wealth book by Sahil Bloom

  • Focus on your relationships; don't leave their quality and intensity to chance. Treat them with the kind of seriousness that people usually reserve for their money or career.
  • The person you choose to confront life's ups and downs with will have the largest impact on your happiness and fulfillment. Choose wisely.
