Your wife’s complaints are the most powerful indicators of her primary love language.

There are five emotional love languages—five ways that people speak and understand emotional love.

If I identify and learn to speak my spouse’s primary love language, I will have discovered the key to a long-lasting, loving marriage.

We have been led to believe that if we are really in love, it will last forever. However, once the experience of falling in love has run it’s course, we return to the world of reality and begin to assert ourselves.

Some couples believe that the end of the “in-love” experience means they have only two options: a life of misery with their spouse or jump ship and try again.

However, there is a third and better alternative: We can recognize the in-love experience for what it was—a temporary emotional high—and now pursue “real love” with our spouse.

There is nothing more powerful that you can do than to love your wife even when she’s not responding positively.

I have a gajillion headbands - yellows, pinks, reds, blues. I'm obsessed.

A captivating moment was when I realized that people, including myself, were not saying, 'I just bought an item on eBay.' They were saying, 'I just won an item on eBay.' It was the thrill of the hunt. I bought a car on eBay.

I often find the smaller, independent films are much more rewarding than the bigger stuff, but you do the bigger stuff because it's a business, and you've got to show your face a bit, get yourself around.

They meant abnormal. Divisions of the kind were fashionable at that time, and it was so easy to stifle one's need to help by deciding that help could neither be accepted nor understood.

Just because the scars have healed, doesn't mean that the pain has.

I was well acquainted with the Calcutta literary circle since I was 17, when I lived in Bangladesh and published and edited a little magazine called 'Sejuti,' for which young poets from both Bengals wrote. If you look at my life, there is no question of using anyone for anything. I have only got banned, blacklisted and banished.

I always think that I have plenty of time for everything, and then the reality of it doesn't quite match up.

My goal is to be remembered as a human being and as a great performer.

Wealth won't give you satisfaction; creating a good product that's well received by users is what matters most.

Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.

If you're a waiter, the worst thing you can do is go to work resenting your job. This will sound trite - but it's the reality, and part of my personality - yet when I was a waiter, I tried to be the best waiter, and when I was a bingo-caller I tried to be the best bingo-caller.

I honestly hate wearing makeup.

And more than echoes talk along the walls.
