If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.

If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.

You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.

And if you have loved a man or a woman, you will want to give the other person as much freedom as possible. If love cannot give freedom, then it is not love.

Free others to be who they are. In so doing, you will set yourself free.

Yet it is only love which sets us free.

If you love something so much let it go. If it comes back it was meant to be; if it doesn't it never was

Hate, hatred for yourself, for other people, will confine you, but love can set you free.

If you love something set it free, but don't be surprised if it comes back with herpes.

If you can’t love someone, leave them for those who can.

In true love, you attain freedom. When you love, you bring freedom to the person you love. If the opposite is true, it is not true love. You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free. (p.4, Shambhala Publications)

Never treat any person as a means. Treat everybody as an end in himself, in herself — then you don’t cling, then you are not attached. You love, but your love gives freedom — and, when you give freedom to the other, you are free. Only in freedom does your soul grow. You will feel very, very happy.
