People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is “You’re safe with me” – that’s intimacy.
Rapport is the ultimate tool for producing results with other people. No matter what you want in your life, if you can develop rapport with the right people, you’ll be able to fill their needs, and they will be able to fill yours.
Rapport is the ability to enter someone else’s world, to make him feel that you understand him, that you have a strong conmion bond.
It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy; it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.
I’ll speak to thee in silence.
Familiarity breeds contempt – and children.
Available people are the ones who are dangerous, because they confront us with the possibility of real intimacy
