“I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. And as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something you have to define for yourself.”
Meredith Grey
“True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.”
Henry David Thoreau
“When you are using a long-distance method to achieve sexual intimacy with a stranger who you never get to know, you are not achieving true intimacy. And if you are using that on a regular basis, it's preventing you from getting sexual and emotional intimacy in your life. Anytime you prefer to have online sex to actual human company -- a friend calls you up and asks you to dinner and you choose not to go because you'd rather engage in online sex -- that's when you're headed for trouble.”
Jenn Berman
“When you're doing stand-up, you achieve an intimacy with the audience you can't get on TV. There's not a better feeling in the entire world then when you look out and see the audience is identifying with you.”
Bill Engvall
“The married are those who have taken the terrible risk of intimacy and, having taken it, know life without intimacy to be impossible.”
Carolyn Heilbrun
“To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art -- that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.”
Charles Baudelaire
“Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.”
Mae West
