Leo Tolstoy Quotes

We all want to believe in the magic of someone knowing what we're thinking.

'Secret' is about intimacy between two people and the connection you have with someone that goes beyond words.

Love is about mutual respect, apart from attraction.

I don't quite know how to put it into words, but I feel for the audience that I have; I know them.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

I think, when you get to know somebody on a personal level were you truly understand what makes them tick, what they play for, things they like to do in their spare time, you're around their families, I think you're kind of able to kind of coexist more when you have a relationship.

We are literally like sisters: you know their ins and outs; you know if something is on their mind, that something's bugging them. We know when something is going wrong, and that instinct you can feel instantly.

When someone feels truly in love, they feel certain. That means they lose any commitment-phobia and will want to find ways to bring you closer together.

but it's not always as set as that. Some things, though, feel like they're right. You and me? It's one of those things. I don't know why they see or why things are such a mess, but in the middle of it all, I do know that being around you is one of tue best things that happened to me in, well, ever.

Somehow I knew that no matter what I chose to tell or to keep secret, he would understand.

They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.

I used to think that's what love was: knowing someone so well he was like a part of you.

Some things you don't have to tell. Some things, between sisters, are understood.

In the end it all came down to companionship, to friendship, to sacrifice, to compromise.

If you can sit in silence with a person for half an hour and yet be entirely comfortable, you and that person can be friends. If you cannot, friends you'll never be and you need not waste time in trying.

My husband knows me better than anyone.

Sometimes there aren't words. The silence between us is flung wide as an ocean. But I manage to reach across it, to wrap my arms around him.

Rapport equals trust plus comfort.

The vital air of friendship is composed of confidence. Friendship perishes in proportion as this air diminishes.

I think compassion is important but love fizzles out eventually. But if there is compassion in a relationship, things can always be worked out.

Because that's what intimacy is: It's a willingness to be vulnerable, a willingness to bite my tongue and a willingness to set an example of what I believe in.

The best proof of love is trust.

I think family is the most important thing in the world. I think your own family is the most complicated thing in the world, and I think it's the most beautiful thing in the world.

For me, compatibility is a sense of humour, being able to laugh together; that is very important.

You can relate to somebody's pain and you have compassion, which can lead to intimacy.
