I've come to learn that what really matters is the relationship, the quality of the relationship.

Even the closest relationships that I have I know could potentially fall away. That's not to speak pessimistically or negatively about those relationships. In a weird way, it's the opposite. I value them.

One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.

As a rule, all relationships go through their ups and downs. It's really about how much you want it.

What I value most in my friends is loyalty.

It's very difficult to judge relationships from the outside. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other.

Right now, the biggest shared value that I can think of is that you should treat others the way you want to be treated, and just have some good sense about what matters to you.

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.

There's value in being a normal person.
