Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Love does not cause suffering: what causes it is the sense of ownership, which is love's opposite.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever.

I love you,” she says. “I love you,” I say. And then we hang up, because nothing else needs to be said after that. I want to give Zara her life back. Even if I feel I deserve something like this, I don’t deserve it at her expense.

In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person.

I fell in love for the right reason. I fell in love unconditionally.

Love without attachment is light.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

We're nothing if we're not loved. When you meet somebody who is more important to you than yourself, that has to be the most important thing.

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

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

There are different definitions of love, and one of the most wonderful definitions of love is to allow somebody to be.

When the satisfaction or the security of another person becomes as significant to one as one's own satisfaction or security, then the state of love exists. Under no other circumstances is a state of love present, regardless of the popular usage of the term.

To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others.

Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.

If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to all others, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

There is nothing you can control about love.

Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.

A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.

What I cannot love, I overlook. Is that real friendship?

My motto is, if you love something, don't set it free. No matter how hard it struggles. That would be stupid.

Isn't it possible, he wondered, for one person to love another without trying to own each other? Or is that buried so deep in our genes that we can never get it out? Territoriality.

Ash: I know better than to interfere with the natural order, but I couldn't let you die. I didn't want to watch you suffer. Tory: Why would you do that? He led her hand to his face so that she was touching his cheek as he stared at her. His eyes and the pain in them burned her soul deep. Ash: Because I don't feel broken when you look at me.

No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it
