Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

The condition which high friendship demands is ability to do without it.

The person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.

He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind - that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.

I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me.

Perfect love casts out fear. Where there is love there are no demands, no expectations, no dependency. I do not demand that you make me happy; my happiness does not lie in you. If you were to leave me, I will not feel sorry for myself; I enjoy your company immensely, but I do not cling.

I love being lost! I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone. I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people, we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life and I don't have a problem with that.

Enjoy everything that happens in your life, but never make your happiness or success dependent on an attachment to any person, place, or thing.

I'll be merry and free, I'll be sad for nae-body; If nae-body cares for me, I'll care for nae-body.

I don't ever want to have to depend on a relationship. I think it's a really special thing to find love. It's beautiful. Nothing can match it. But I want to make sure that I find other things in life that I love besides . . . love.

I don't need a man. But I'm happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don't fold up and die if I don't have a man around.

Look for someone who has a complete life without you in it. If you have a person you don't need for anything, that's ideal. You're just together because you really want to be.

I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

My family advocates doing what fulfills your soul. They've always said, 'You're a big girl; figure it out on your own.'

You must learn to exist with no religion, no country, no allies. You must learn to live alone in silence.

If I find the person that I love, it is because I love them, not because I will be dependent on them.

I have my own strength.

In our relationship, we don't have that situation. I don't require what he needs, and he doesn't require what I need. I know what I do; I have an amazing life that nobody knows about.

It's nice to be with someone, but I don't think you need to be in a relationship to feel complete. That would be really sad.

Ice and I just live our own lives. I have to answer to him, and he has to answer to me, and that's it. We don't care about the outside world, and even though it can be harsh out there, we just have to deal with it.

It is possible for a woman to be a romantic, but also to be single and to be happy.

Some men are much more self-sufficient than others.

I am totally okay on my own. I don't want to have to have a man to feel whole. It's not that I need that to feel like I have a full life. No, I have a full life.

I don't need a person to make me happy.

I think being independent gives you a different confidence about yourself. It gives you more power, especially in certain relationships.
