“The strongest force in our universe is not overriding power, but love.”— Carl R. Rogers Related Quotes “Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.”— Billy Strayhorn “Enemies aren’t always garnered through action… Sometimes they appear for no other reason than to shame the goodwill of loving & kind people.”— Robert Vanleeuwen “Maternal absence, in one form or another, is always found in the background of the incest romance. Womens literature on incest generally treats the theme of maternal absence tragically. Mens literature trivializes it or treats it comically. And clinical literature tends to treat it judgmentally.”— Judith Lewis Herman
