“Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.”
1988
“Passion is largely the expression of desires and needs — such as for self‐esteem, nurturance, affiliation, dominance, submission, and sexual fulfillment.”
“Living happily ever after need not be a myth, but if it is to be a reality, the happiness must be based upon different configurations of mutual feelings at various times in a relationship.”
“Couples who expect their passion to last forever, or their intimacy to remain unchallenged, are in for disappointment.”
“We must constantly work at understanding, building, and rebuilding our loving relationships.”
1997
“Successful intelligence is the ability to succeed in life, given one’s own goals, within one’s environmental contexts.”
1998
“Personal relationships that have the greatest longevity and satisfaction are those in which partners are constantly working on sustaining intimacy and reinforcing commitment to each other.”
“Of course, it is very difficult, and often impossible, for someone else to give you what you cannot find in yourself.”
2002
“Current intelligence‐testing practices require examinees to answer but not to pose questions. In requiring only the answering of questions, these tests are missing a vital half of intelligence — the asking of questions.”
2005
“…by capitalising on strengths and correcting or compensating for weaknesses in order to adapt, shape and select environments through a combination of analytical, creative and practical skills.”
2011
“Success in life does not necessarily originate with academic success.”
