Esther Perel Quotes:

Ocupation: Author

Life: b. 1958

People grow up learning to be silent about their sexuality, so where are they going to learn to talk about it when they are in a relationship?

"If I say in the beginning, that I am missing something, you are instantly going to think that means you are not enough."
