More From Bonnie Raitt

No-strings relationships have helped cure me of love addiction. all my life i've been in long-term monogamous relationships. i had to break that pattern by not allowing myself to have a relationship for a year, stopping myself from committing to men. i haven't been celibate. i've had lots of dates and lots of sex, but i haven't been pushing to turn a date into a relationship. this has been a huge thing for me.

The mistake that straight people made was imposing the monogamous expectation on men. men were never expected to be monogamous.

The mind turned inwards is the self; turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. but all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. the one is real, the many are mere names and forms.

I'm a person who's been in a long-term relationship. it's not surprising that a lot of my friends - whether they're in same-sex relationships or not, whether they're married officially or just in a long-term relationship - have really interesting and various stages in their relationship. my life is looking at these friendships and saying, "wait a minute, isn't this something really interesting? how can i explore this?"

Straight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.

The fidelity question is difficult for me. society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales, or whatever the monogamous species is.

Similar Quotes

I certainly believe that i have no right to tell another couple whether they can or cannot be married.

I am an optimist and i believe that together we shall be able now to make the right historical choice so as not to miss the great chance at the turn of centuries and millenia and make the current extremely difficult transition to a peaceful world order.

Today, there are those who say that marriage is out of fashion... they say that it is not worth making a life-long commitment, making a definitive decision, ‘for ever’, because we do not know what tomorrow will bring. i ask you, instead, to be revolutionaries, i ask you to swim against the tide; yes, i am asking you to rebel against this culture that sees everything as temporary and that ultimately believes you are incapable of responsibility, that believes you are incapable of true love.

Hip-hop definitely taught me a lot. having to create your own identity and become known and respected in a male-dominated field - it requires some guts. there are times you have to be strong, and times when you have to stand alone for what you believe in.
