More quotes by Emily Yoffe
Each week I am forced to revise my original opinion that Facebook is a great innovation for keeping people in touch, to believing that it is merely a canvas for members to act out strange, unresolved conflicts and desires.
Emily Yoffe
The only solution seems to be for government to toughen the vaccination laws and close the loopholes that allow people to opt out for philosophical and so-called religious reasons. The laws need to make clear: no shot, no school.

Not many people could juggle graduate school and two jobs.
Emily Yoffe
I am against lying, but just because someone asks a question does not mean you have to answer it.
Emily Yoffe
You may think you're married to a woman, but she's really an overgrown child.

I think it's helpful for kids to know that their parents weren't perfect, that they messed up and learned from their mistakes. So be open about some of your own struggles or express gratitude that your kids are taking advantage of the opportunities they have instead of squandering many of them, the way you did.

The biggest problem is that people want to tell the whole story, and they write letters that are way longer than anything I could possibly run.

When my daughter left for college, I lost my in-house consultant to youth culture. There's just stuff I don't get. And there's something kind of pathetic about someone my age trying to pretend she gets it, so I don't try to pretend.

Once an affair is over, the cheaters need to agree not to see each other anymore in order to reestablish trust with their spouses.
Emily Yoffe
Sometimes people have a wild past because they have an essentially wild nature, and that's how they plan to go through life. Sometimes such people settle into happy monogamy, and can be content there because they never have to wonder, What did I miss?
Emily Yoffe
Don't underestimate the power of the nonplussed look and the shake of the head. Letting noxious words hang in the air can be very powerful.
Emily Yoffe
When people are really drunk they have a propensity to harm themselves and others - they fall off buildings, they drive into other cars.
Emily Yoffe
I counseled a 75-year-old married, bi-sexual man who was having a gay affair and was not having sex with his wife to continue his secret life because that seemed like the kindest thing to do. But a young woman embarking on married life, hoping to start a family with her husband, needs to at least know he's already living a double life.
Emily Yoffe
There are some people who do not have a wild past because being wild would make them terribly self-conscious and uncomfortable.
Emily Yoffe
Anyone who marries gets no guarantee that their partner, no matter what they vow, will always keep that promise.
Emily Yoffe
When you expand the definition of marriage beyond one man and one woman, society can expect other consenting adults in other configurations to say that their choices deserve recognition.
Emily Yoffe
I'm not suffering from some division of personality.
Emily Yoffe
People often recommend, Why do you ask? as a good conversation stopper. But that really doesn't end the conversation, it just leaves the other person sputtering for a response. I like, You'll be the first to know..
Emily Yoffe
Unless you work at the Republican National Committee or some other conservatively affiliated organization, people's personal political preferences should not be a criterion for employment or comfort in the workplace.
Emily Yoffe
As far as types preferring other types, people of the same type can understand each others' perspective very well, but also drive each other crazy because they see their flaws magnified.
