Today we are faced with the preeminent fact that, if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships... the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world, at peace.

You must go to bed with friends or whores, where money makes up the difference in beauty or desire.

Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.

Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.

People must be taken as they are, and we should never try make them or ourselves better by quarreling with them.

I want to be the white man's brother, not his brother-in-law.

The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.

Nowadays love is a matter of chance, matrimony a matter of money and divorce a matter of course.

People who are having a love-sex relationship are continuously lying to each other because the very nature of the relationship demands that they do, because you have to make a love object of this person, which means that you editorialize about them. You cut out what you don't want to see, you add this if it isn't there. And so therefore you're building a lie.
