Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship in which we learn how to grow, live, and love in the spiritual life. – Richard Foster

I’ve never had a relationship with a record executive. I always went to the record company by someone that liked my playing. Then they would get fired, and I’d be left with the record company. And then – because they got fired – the record company wouldn’t do anything for me. – Ornette Coleman
Burton Cummings joining the Guess Who in January 1966 changed my life forever. It’s been a rocky affiliation, no doubt. One journalist once described our relationship as the longest running soap opera in Canadian history. That may be a bit oversimplified. – Randy Bachman
None of us can claim to be fair and square in love – and I’m definitely not a hypocrite! Humans are built to evolve with time. It depends on the nature of the relationship you share with a person. It is there today, tomorrow it may be gone; c’est la vie. – Randeep Hooda
Let me say again that the relationship is asymmetrical: there’s no democracy without a market economy, but you can have a market economy without democracy. – Peter L. Berger

He’s my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression… I cannot see him.
