I want everyone to know what they deserve in relationships: that they can demand equality and kindness. Because everyone will have a relationship at some point in their life. It's what we all do, every day, and we need to know how to do it.

We come into relationships often very much identified with our needs. I need this, I need security, I need refuge, I need friendship. And all of relationships are symbiotic in that sense. We come together because we fulfill each others' needs at some level or other.

Friendships are among the most fundamental of human needs.

We need love, and to ensure love, we need to have full employment, and we need social justice. We need gender equity. We need freedom from hunger. These are our most fundamental needs as social creatures.

Relationships are about helping motivate each other to be all that you can be.

The need for love and intimacy is a fundamental human need, as primal as the need for food, water, and air.

I need to be loved. I need to be nurtured. I also need peace and stability in my relationships. I can't be in volatile relationships.

We have children to pursue other elements of well-being. We want meaning in life. We want relationships.

In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.

All you need is love.
