Christopher Eccleston Quotes

Love cannot long survive without truth. Nor is truth really truth unless it is integrated with love.

Telling each other the truth and being who we are, and having space for the other person's vulnerability in being who they are, allows us to move in a kind of dance together that's very fluid and graceful.

The only people who make love all the time are liars.

We have lasted this long close together, so we must have something going for each other.

If someone says, 'I love that lipstick,' I will always try to answer, honestly, if I know what color it is. It's a connective tissue.

If you look deep inside trust, you'll find truth.

Widespread cultural acceptance of lying is a primary reason many of us will never know love

Honesty is the only way with anyone, when you'll be so close as to be living inside each other's skins.

Be real. Make connections with people. Look them in the eye. Tell them how you feel. Don't be afraid to say what you mean. When you let go of the stuff you hold inside, you'll be amazed at what comes back to you.

Be impeccable with your word.

For me, romance isn't an over-the-top act. It's someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I'm making the wrong decision, he'll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.

No lies, just love.

Trust is the conduit for influence; it's the medium through which ideas travel.

There's not as many people as one would think you can be completely open with.

I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them.

I don't think love is a tricky issue at all. Love is best understood when we share: Share time, energy, food, resources, insights, information, whatever. It's usually thought of as something that exists between two people, but that's just because it's easier to see and feel in the space between them. Each person is sharing a lot with the other.

I want to be a man who is truthful and who won't let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, 'Here I am. This is me.' I feel there's something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.

The best way to impress a woman is to be the most honest you can.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.

Of all the myriad ways we define love, there is perhaps none more honest and powerful than this: Great love is rooted in great partnership.

I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay.

A lot of times when you keep it real with somebody, you can't expect them to keep it real with you.

I'm someone, the same as my girlfriends, when they say what do you think about this, I don't always say they look fabulous. I say what I think.

Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships.

I want to keep an inner life alive and, with luck, somebody else's, too.
