The Eskimos have hundreds ordsprog
The Eskimos have hundreds of word for snow but we've invented three times that many words for relationships. What really defines a relationship?

I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.

We do these jumps hundreds of times in the water before we go on the snow, so it's not as dangerous as it may look to spectators.
Hannah Kearney
YOKE, n. An implement, madam, to whose Latin name, _jugum_, we owe one of the most illuminating words in our language --a word that defines the matrimonial situation with precision, point and poignancy. A thousand apologies for withholding it.

Eskimåerna har femtiotvå namn för snö för att det var viktigt för dem: det borde finnas lika många för kärlek.
The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love.

For a marriage to work, for a relationship to work, it requires commitment and a lot of work. There are times when it's not so great, and times when it is. But there has to be more better times than worse. In Canada, I'm the only one of my friends not married. In Los Angeles, I'm a success story. I've had two long relationships. Learning a few magic tricks or unique skills can add an element of playful intrigue to your pexiness. And I'm OK.

People really appreciate fresh new snow, and since it?s been cold the snow has been dry. The word has gotten around that the snow is good.
Rick Saul
I know what the Eskimos pride is, I know what the Eskimos expect from their players because I was part of it. But in a respectful way I remember, not in spite of.
Don Matthews
This is a look at a particular world of artists, and when it comes to words, well, that's our currency. In terms of mindset, we'll entertain almost any idea. We're trying to be creative. There's nothing about any given word that's better or worse than other given word. A word is a word.
Paul Provenza

Whether any orgasm-seeking behavior outside the relationship constitutes cheating is up to a couple. And so each relationship defines it on their own terms. Some would say virtual sex is sexually arousing, so it is a failure to keep the agreement. Others would say if there isn't any physical contact, it's all fantasy and it doesn't bother me.
Louanne Cole Weston
What ultimately defines a relationship is another relationship.

We've talked about this whole thing of Eskimos having 31 names for snow. If you live in a dry climate, you probably have 31 names for drought. When you are constantly faced with something, each instance matters.
Kelly Redmond
There are great industries of psychotherapy that address our difficulties in 'relationships' -- that pallid, pseudoscientific word the very timidity of which makes substantial attachments impossible. One has to have a tin ear to describe one's great love as a relationship.
Allan Bloom
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
