Quotes About Relationship

"One problem is that people with the fixed mind-set expect everything good to happen automatically. It's not that the partners will work to help each other solve their problems or gain skills. It's that this will magically occur through their love, sort of the way it happened to Sleeping Beauty, whose coma was cured by her prince's kiss, or to Cinderella, whose miserable life was suddenly transformed by her prince."

— Maria Popova

"Just as there are no great achievements without setbacks, there are no great relationships without conflicts and problems along the way."

— Carol Dweck

"The growth mind-set says all of these things can be developed. All - you, your partner, and the relationship - are capable of growth and change. In the fixed mind-set, the ideal is instant, perfect, and perpetual compatibility. Like it was meant to be. Like riding off into the sunset. Like they lived happily ever after."

— Carol Dweck
