Comfortable

Famous quotes containing the word comfortable:

“Our ability to fall in love requires enough comfort with our masculinity to join it with someone’s femininity and feel enhanced. . . .

If we are really comfortable with our mother, we can even marry a woman who is a friend rather than an adversary, and form a true partnership.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
