Real Relationship

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or relationship:

    Only when we break the mirror and climb into our vision,
    only when we are the wind together streaming and singing,
    only in the dream we become with our bones for spears,
    we are real at last
    and wake.
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    When any relationship is characterized by difference, particularly a disparity in power, there remains a tendency to model it on the parent-child-relationship. Even protectiveness and benevolence toward the poor, toward minorities, and especially toward women have involved equating them with children.
    Mary Catherine Bateson (20th century)
