Quote by Barbara de Angelis

When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.

When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest you

Summary

This quote emphasizes that when we commit to a relationship, we become more invested in it as we perceive ourselves as owners of that connection. It suggests that our level of attention and energy towards the relationship increases, as we recognize a sense of responsibility and belonging. This ownership mindset compels us to nurture and prioritize the relationship more deeply than we would with a casual association. Making a commitment leads to a greater dedication and effort to ensure the success and happiness of the relationship.

If one had to worry about one's actions in respect of other people's ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist.

The things that don't happen to us that we'll never know did

The things that don't happen to us that we'll never know didn't happen to us. The nonstories. The extra minute to find the briefcase that makes you late to the spot where a tractor trailer mauled another car instead of yours.

We just don't know what they are.

We find the most terrible form of atheism, not in the militant and passionate struggle against the idea of God himself, but in the practical atheism of everyday living, in indifference and torpor. We often encounter these forms of atheism among those who are formally Christians.
