If you look at any other group of people suffering injustice, women are always in the worst situation within that group.
Salma HayekRead
If a man lets all of my dogs sleep in the bed with us, then that is the most romantic thing. You must love my dogs in order to love me. A man who is nice to my animals and doesn't shoo them away - well, that's the height of romance.
Interpretation
True love includes acceptance of all aspects of a partner's life, including their pets.
In this quote, Salma Hayek emphasizes that a genuine romantic relationship is characterized by unconditional love, which extends beyond just the partner to include their pets. If someone is willing to embrace and care for her dogs, it shows a deeper level of affection and commitment, suggesting that loving a person means accepting and loving everything they hold dear.
In practice
Sharing this quote during a discussion about what makes a relationship strong.
If you look at any other group of people suffering injustice, women are always in the worst situation within that group.
No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.
You can be a thousand different women. It's your choice which one you want to be. It's about freedom and sovereignty. You celebrate who you are. You say, 'This is my kingdom.'
Every woman who thinks she is the only victim of violence has to know that there are many more.
I love being a wife and homemaker - because it's my choice. My husband doesn't expect me to do it. I don't mind doing things for him because he does so much for me; we both feel that way so there is no power struggle.
This is not love. It is a crime... You can't look the other way just because you have not experienced domestic violence with your own flesh.
He doubted her. You must never doubt the one you love. But they might not be telling the truth. Never mind that. You tell them the truth. What do you mean? You can't be another person's honesty, child, but you can be your own. So what should I say? When? When I love someone? You should say it.
Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself.
We were together because we were addicted to each other. I was never as intoxicated as I was when we were happy together, and I knew it was the same for him. We were putting ourselves through the wringer for those moments of perfection between us, but they were so tenuous that only our stubbornness, determination and love kept us fighting for them.
To love! To surrender absolutely, to prostrate oneself before the divine image, to die a thousand imaginary deaths, to annihilate every trace of self, to find the whole universe embodied and enshrined in the living image of another! Adolescent, we say. Rot! This is the germ of the future life, the seed which we hide away, which we bury deep within us, which we smother and stifle and do our utmost to destroy as we advance from one experience to another and flutter and flounder and lose our way.
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Wouldst thou learn thy Lord's meaning in this thing? Learn it well: Love was His meaning. Who shewed it thee? Love. What shewed He thee? Love. Wherefore shewed it He? For Love. Hold thee therein and thou shalt learn and know more in the same. But thou shalt never know nor learn therein other thing without end. Thus was I learned that Love was our Lord's meaning.
