Not Possession, but Freedom


Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
- Rabindranath Tagore

You Don't Own Me [watch the video]
- song by John Madara and David White

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.
- Thich Nhat Hanh

He that is jealous is not in love.
- Saint Augustine

You know you love someone when you know
you want them to be happy,
even if their happiness means
that you are not a part of it.
- Anonymous
