Famous quotes containing the words real and/or relationship:
“It’s only with great vulgarity that you can achieve real refinement, only out of bawdry that you can get tenderness.”
—Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)
“It is possible to make friends with our children—but probably not while they are children.... Friendship is a relationship of mutual dependence-interdependence. A family is a relationship in which some of the participants are dependent on others. It is the job of parents to provide for their children. It is not appropriate for adults to enter into parenthood recognizing they have made a decision to accept dependents and then try to pretend that their children are not dependent on them.”
—Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
