Steve Zissis Quotes

People will always be interested in relationships, infidelity and sex and everything connected to things in their own lives.

I've always believed in populating my films with characters who we like, who we have some warmth for, who have warmth for each other, who we would like to hang out with, who we emulate in one way or another. It's not that they all get along, or that there aren't bad people or people we make fun of. But at the core, there's a kind of sweetness.

There are so few people given us to love. I want to tell my daughters this, that each time you fall in love it is important, even at nineteen. Especially at nineteen. And if you can, at nineteen, count the people you love on one hand, you will not, at forty, have run out of fingers on the other. There are so few people given us to love and they all stick.

Trust, a sense of humor, and don't let the sun go down on an argument without trying to make it up. That's all I know about good marriage. I've been married a long time - it seems to be working.

Life's deepest meaning is not found in accomplishments , but in relationships

People would never fall in love if they hadn't heard love talked about.

Well, you never knew exactly how much space you occupied in people's lives. Yet from this fog his affection emerged--the best contacts are when one knows the obstacles and still wants to preserve a relation.

I like playing that character who brings love to people, who puts people in a place where they're apt to encounter love.

Most people experience love, without noticing that there is anything remarkable about it.

We are made for loving.

There are some people who would never have fallen in love if they had not heard there was such a thing.

If you let people into your life a little bit, they can be pretty damn amazing.

I go to see plays all the time, and whenever I see Chekhov, I'm amazed at how this Russian play strikes home to me living 100 years later in New York City. I'm drawn to him because of his way with characters and their relationships with each other.

To like many people spontaneously and without effort is perhaps the greatest of all sources of personal happiness.

People who love each other fully and truly are the happiest people in the world. They may have little, they may have nothing, but they are happy people. Everything depends on how we love one another.

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love.

I think that love is very important and exists in many forms for all of us.

The romance is essential. I love the love. I don't love just people struggling. I love what people are struggling for. That moves me. I love watching people be loving, and I find it enchanting, magical and transporting. It's one of the reasons that I go to the movies, and that's why I like putting it in movies.

In love as in speculation there is much filth; in love also, people think only of their own gratification; yet without love there would be no life, and the world would come to an end.

You don't pick who you fall in love with. There are so few people to love. It's hard for one adult to even like another. Almost impossible.

Nobody should go through life without falling in love.

Attraction eludes control so stubbornly that whole societies designed to organize relationships among people cannot keep order, not even when they bind people to one another from childhood and raise them together.

The people we most love do become a physical part of us, ingrained in our synapses, in the pathways where memories are created.

Through love, through friendship, a heart lives more than one life.

There are no soul mates. Not in the traditional sense, at least. In my 20s someone told me that each person has not one but 30 soul mates walking the earth.
