Real Relationship

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or relationship:

    Books are for the most part willfully and hastily written, as parts of a system to supply a want real or imagined.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Strange and predatory and truly dangerous, car thieves and muggers—they seem to jeopardize all our cherished concepts, even our self-esteem, our property rights, our powers of love, our laws and pleasures. The only relationship we seem to have with them is scorn or bewilderment, but they belong somewhere on the dark prairies of a country that is in the throes of self-discovery.
    John Cheever (1912–1982)
