Love and Intimacy
Love Quotes
Though we may think we know each other well, when we neglect feelings in a
relationship, we neglect the deepest and most intimate part of ourselves ...
sharing feelings leads us to great closeness because feelings are very personal,
the most intimate part of us. The sharing of a deep feeling is the greatest gift
a human being can give to another.
--Fr. Chuck Gallaghe
Henceforth there will be such a oneness between us---
that when one weeps the other will taste salt.
--author unknown
When love is accompanied wit deep intimacy, it raises us to the highest level of
human experience. In this exalted space, we can surrender our egos, become
vulnerable and know levels of joy and well-being unique among life experiences.
We attain a glimpse of the rapture that can be ours. Boundaries are blurred,
there are no limitations and we rejoice in union. We become one and, at the same
time, both.
--Leo Buscaglia (Born For Love)
Oh, the miraculous energy that flows between two people who care enough to get
beyond surfaces and games, who are willing to take the risks of being totally
open, of listening, of responding with the whole heart. How much we can do for
each other.
--Alex Noble
One of the characteristics of love relationships that flower is a relatively
high degree of mutual self-disclosure-- a willingness to let our partner enter
into the interior of our private world and a genuine interest in the private
world of that partner. Couples in love tend to show more of themselves to each
other than to any other person.
--Nathaniel Branden
Love simply cannot spring up without that self-surrender to each other. If
either withholds the self, love cannot exist.
--Dr. E. Stanley Jones
What does open us is sharing our vulnerabilities. Sometimes we see a couple who
has done this difficult work over a lifetime. In the process, they have grown
old together. We can sense the enormous comfort, the shared quality of ease
between these people. It is beautiful, and very rare. Without this quality of
openness and vulnerability, partners don't really know each other; they are one
image living with another image.
--Charlotte Joko Beck
The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being
with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years
increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most
marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately
wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all
things in life.
-- Sir Hugh Walpole
Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are.
--Amy Bloom
You can't love a crowd the same way you can love a person. And a crowd can't
love you the way a single person can love you. Intimacy doesn't scale. Not
really. Intimacy is a one-on-one phenomenon.
--Hugh Macleod
Electronic communication is an instantaneous and illusory contact that creates a
sense of intimacy without the emotional investment that leads to close
friendships.
--Clifford Stoll
