1. Kaleel Jamison:

   Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is.

Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
