You can't forge a relationship with learned helplessness, you can only force one and it will always be tenuous. There is always the possibility the peregrine will rediscover the strength of his heart.

About This Quote

You can't forge a relationship with learned helplessness, you can only force one and it will always be tenuous. There is always the possibility the peregrine will rediscover the strength of his heart. In other words, you can't force a relationship if you learn that you have no control over the other person. You can only be forced into a relationship where your partner knows that they have no power to control you.
