Adventure Quote by Pacifiersucker
“Turning a close relationship into a path of self-liberation necessitates a change in our perception of our partner. Instead of seeing our partner as someone who might satisfy our various imagined needs, we can begin to see them as someone who can help us fulfill our real quest... A quest for fulfillment. They are offering us the opportunity to notice our attachment and the ways in which they distort our perception and our thinking.”
