Intelligence is a form of friendship with the world. It can’t be cultivated out of fear of it.

Some years back my wife and I got into the habit of asking each other
‘do you want comfort or solutions’ when the other was having a bad time. That one sentence can save us from an argument 9/10 times.

A quote by Mahmoud Darwish
The health of a relationship depends on the amount of uncomfortable conversations people are willing to have.
